Productivity Improvement using Gravitational Search Algorithm: a Case of Film Roll Industry

Authors Info & Claims
Published:20 September 2022Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this article, the Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) has been applied to find an optimal solution for a one-dimensional cutting-stock problem (1D-CSP). It aims to improve the productivity of the Film Roll cutting design as a 1D-CSP using a mathematical program. The proposed model has been implemented and tested in a case study factory. Four factors, namely, 1) the total number of rolls, 2) the percentage of the total scraps, 3) the percentage of utilization, and 4) the processing time; have been examined. The results show that film roll cutting design using the mathematical programs with GSA takes faster processing time than a traditional staff's ruling cutting design. Also, the initial film roll usage lessens by 9 percent and the number of scraps left from cutting decreases by 1.27 percent when compared with the staff's cutting method. Ultimately, the observed cost-saving during our experiment reduces up to 6,500 USD.
