Optimal material layout
I have a roll of paper that has to be slit into 3 different widths, may be
more than one lane of each width. Lets say 5", 10" and 15". I need to decide the best layout of the slitters that will be slitting this parent roll to ensure the least amount of waste. Is there a formula that I could use to figure the optimal layout or is this something that I'll just have to figure manually. At this time the width of the paper could be ordered around 48" total width but could go +/- a few inches either way to accomodate optimal slitting. Any help would be appreciated. |
