Hello guys,
I got the following problem.
I need to calculate the minimum required aluminum bars and cut them in predetermined lengths.
The problem is the following:
Constraints
1: My aluminum bars are 6m long
2: Every time I cut, 4mm of material is lost.
Let's say that I have the following requirements
6000mm - Qnty: 1
5400mm - Qnty: 1
3770mm - Qnty: 2
2450mm - Qnty: 4
1255mm - Qty: 7
550mm - Qty: 3
I would create a table with 3 columns
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks
