Computer Aided Design of Unit Loads: A Design and Selection Procedure

  • Conference paper
Material Handling ’90

Part of the book series: Progress in Material Handling and Logistics ((LOGISTICS,volume 2))

  • 426 Accesses

Abstract

A computer aided approach for unit load design and selection based on product characteristics, pallet/container dimensions, and facility and operational constraints is discussed in detail. The unit load design and selection problem is formulated as a nonlinear integer programming problem and solved by a heuristic approach and by an intelligent enumeration procedure.
