The potted plant packing problem was presented in [1] as a practical planning problem. The plants are packed on standardised trollies for transportation, with transport costs being directly dependent upon the number of trollies used. As a result, the effective packing of trollies is an important practical problem. Effective packing of trollies becomes even more important as this sector evolves into a consumer market. This paper presents our further work towards a solution of this problem. We designed a framework algorithm and developed a prototype capable of solving a simplified version of the problem. The paper at hand focuses on the algorithms and the prototype that were developed so far. |
