Abstract:

In this paper the rectangle packing problem (RPP) is considered. The RPP consists in finding a packing pattern of small rectangles within a larger rectangle such that the area utilization is maximized. We develop new heuristics for the RPP which are based on the G4-heuristic for the pallet loading problem. In addition to the general RPP we take also into account further restrictions which are of practical interest.
