Optimizing cut order planning in apparel production using evolutionary strategies

W.K. Wong and S.Y.S. Leung,     The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China

Abstract:

Cut order planning (COP) plays a significant role in managing the cost of materials. COP seeks to minimize the total manufacturing costs by developing feasible cutting order plans with respect to material, machine and labour. In this chapter, a genetic optimized decision-making model using adaptive evolutionary strategies is devised for COP. Four sets of real production data were collected to validate the proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can reduce both the material costs and the production of additional garments while satisfying ...
