Abstract
The pallet loading problem has historically been addressed in two-dimensions by attempting to maximize the pallet area utilized in each loading layer. This paper investigates a constrained version of three-dimensional pallet loading problem with mixed box sizes. This loading method allows many boxes of various sizes to be placed onto the same pallet. A restriction is placed on the number of boxes of each size that can be loaded. The modeling procedure presented converts the three-dimensional pallet loading problem into a standard mixed 0-1 integer programming model. The solution procedure for the formulated model is also described.
