Selection of feasible cutting patterns in order to minimize the raw material wastage which is known as cutting stock problem has become a key factor of the success in today’s competitive manufacturing industries. In this paper, solving a two-dimensional cutting stock problem is discussed. Our study is restricted to raw material (main sheet) in a rectangular shape, and cutting items are also considered as rectangular shape with known dimensions. The Branch and Bound approach in solving integer programming problems is used to solve the problem.
