A review of literature: Exploring synergies between scheduling problems and cutting stock challenges in industrial optimization

Abstract

The synergy between scheduling and cutting stock optimization becomes increasingly important as industrial processes aim for increased efficiency and resource usage. This study is a general overview of the definitions, methodology, and approaches used in tackling the complications provided by the simultaneous consideration of scheduling and cutting stock problems by examining some current literature. This review intends to be a helpful resource for academics, practitioners, and decision-makers looking to understand these manufacturing processes and simplify operations by providing light on the developing landscape of research at this combination.
