Computing stable loads for pallets

European Journal of Operational Research, 2010, vol. 207, issue 2, 980-985

Abstract: This paper describes an Integer Programming model for generating stable loading patterns for the Pallet Loading Problem under several stability criteria. The results obtained during evaluation show great improvement in the number of stable patterns in comparison with results reported earlier. Moreover, most of the solved cases also ensure optimality in terms of utilization of a pallet.
