MARTINEZ ALFARO, Horacio  and  VALENZUELA RENDON, Manuel. Using Simulated Annealing with a Neighborhood Heuristic for Roll Cutting Optimization. Comp. y Sist. [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.1, pp.87-95. ISSN 2007-9737.

This article presents the use of the Simulated Annealing algorithm with a heuristic to solve the waste minimization problem in roll cutting programming, in this case, paper. Client orders, which vary in weight, width, and external and internal diameter, are fully satisfied. Several tests were performed with real data from a paper company in which an average of 30% waste reduction and 100% reduction in production to inventory are obtained compare to the previous procedure.

Keywords : Simulated Annealing; optimization; heuristics; cutting; paper rolls.
