Abstract: The correct layout of goods, objects or cargo, in the container's available space is considered a complex task. The study was motivated by the need to implement a solution to optimise container use in a steel industry company in the South of Brazil. This article has contributed to synthesising research on the three-dimensional container loading problem, highlighting classifications, constraints, and algorithms used in its resolution. A framework is presented and may be used as a road map for practical implementation as used in this research. As a practical contribution, this article presents several instances of one actual case application. Results showed reducing of formatting loads processing time in comparison with the traditional company approach.
