The Minimization of Scrap: On What We Choose to Waste
Abstract: The cutting stock problem (CSP) is a practical task: how to efficiently cut large pieces of raw material into useful items. It is with this same naïveté that this question motivated many foundational steps of operations research. From the earliest use of linear inequality systems in industrial settings, to the birth of column generation, and even to the very idea of mathematically optimal solutions as a business goal. In this talk, we present the classical CSP, its theoretical foundations, its most widely used practical variants, and the broad spectrum of formulations and solution methods it inspired in the past century. In conclusion, we will look at the context in which these discoveries were made, and what we may choose to learn.
