Improved Best Fit Algorithm for Billet Stacking Problem

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aiming at billet stacking problem of the rolling mill, an IBF algorithm is used to assign the billet to the warehouse positions. The utilization of non-empty warehouse positions and shuffles are considered in the algorithm. Computational experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is feasible and effective, competitive and able to find more high-quality solutions for problem instances than artificial method.
