Abstract

In this research, we develop a software for production planning for the corrugation process. The software particularly creates a plan for paper roll selection for the mill stands. The plan is used by an employee to pick up paper rolls from the inventory and put on the stand. The main goal of the plan is to optimize the waste of the paper for each roll. There exists supplementary goals such as to balance paper roll distributions in all the mill stands. In this paper, such a problem is described. Then the greedy algorithm for roll selection is developed. The algorithm is integrated in the software to create a plan for the whole application.
