Tackling the Container Loading Problem: A Hybrid Approach Based on Integer Linear Programming and Genetic Algorithms

A Hybrid Methodology Approach for Container Loading Problem Using Genetic Algorithm to Maximize the Weight Distribution of Cargo

“…Table 2. Best-case results of Nepomuceno et al (Nepomuceno et al, 2007) and the present methodology.…”

“…Conform Dumitrescu and Stuetzle (Dumitrescu & Stuetzle, 2003), these ideas fall under a category of algorithm that has been commonly referred to as hybrid methods. Nepomuceno et al (Nepomuceno et al, 2007) introduced a successful work in which reduced instances of 3D-KLP are generated by a genetic algorithm, and then solved by linear programming. (Nepomuceno et al, 2007).…”

A novel application of crossover operator to a hybrid optimization framework: Investigation into cutting problems

“…A new hybrid methodology called Generate and Solve has been recently introduced in the literature in [19,20,21]. As can be seen in Fig.…”

“…In general, the problem consists of cutting rectangular pieces from a single large rectangular object, given the quantities of pieces, the values of each one and the dimensions of the rectangular object and the aforementioned pieces. To solve this problem, it is presented a hybrid methodology combining metaheuristics and integer linear programming, which was introduced in [19,20,21]. The UOBX operator is used to improve the efficiency of the methodology.…”
