Abstract

This project aims to study the problem of laying cylinders within a furnace, which is commonly found in the ceramic industry. We consider that shelves can be placed in the furnace, which means the cylinders can be laid in different stores and the furnace occupation can be improved. Our goal is to create a mathematical model to represent the furnace optimization problem, considering the usage of shelves. Besides, we intend to study and implement exact and heuristics methods to solve the proposed model. (AU)
