has a width of 2.5 m. It received an order of three models of paper with the following criteria:

Model paper width (m) paper length (m)

S 0.9 30 000
M 1.1 20 000
L 1.3 10 000

In order to satisfy the need of the customer, paper of different widths can be cut from type I and type
II paper. For example, two rolls of paper of width 0.9 m may be cut from a roll of type I paper, with
wastage of paper of width 0.2 m. Obviously, the paper company will not leave any wastage of paper
of width 0.9 m or more.
(a) For the type I paper, there are three possible cutting methods. The first method cuts two rolls of
paper of width 0.9 m, with wastage of paper of width 0.2 m. Complete the table to indicate the
other two cutting methods.

The paper company wants to minimize the area of wasted papers subject to the criteria set by the
customer. Paper of widths 0.9 m, 1.1 m and 1.3 m produced that exceeds the demand of the
customer is not considered as wastage.
(c) Let x11, x12, x13 be the lengths (m) of paper cut from type I paper according to cutting methods 1,
2 and 3 respectively. Let x24, x25, x26, x27, x28 be the lengths (m) of paper cut from type II paper
according to cutting methods 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 respectively. Write down the objective function to
be optimized and the constraints on the objective function.
一間造紙公司生產兩種紙張，分別為 I 類和 II 類；I 類的闊度為 2 m，II 類的闊度則為 2.5 m。
該 公司接獲一張生產三種尺寸的紙張的訂單，其要求如下：

紙張類別 紙張闊度 (m) 紙張長度 (m)

S 0.9 30 000
M 1.1 20 000
L 1.3 10 000

為符合顧客的要求，公司可從 I 類和 II 類紙張剪裁不同闊度的紙張。例如兩卷闊度為 0.9 m 的

紙張可以從一卷 I 類紙張裁剪出來，但會浪費闊 0.2 m 的紙張。在這些條件下，公司不可能浪
費闊 0.9 m 或以上的紙張。
(a) I 類紙張有三種裁剪方法。第一個方法是裁出兩卷闊度為 0.9 m 的紙張，損耗闊 0.2 m 的
紙張。試完成下表以說明另外兩種的裁剪方法。

裁剪方法 1 裁剪方法 2 裁剪方法 3

S 的卷數 2 1 0
M 的卷數 0 0
L 的卷數 0
損耗 (m) 0.2 0 0.7

(b) II 類紙張則有五種裁剪方法。試完成下表。

裁剪方法 4 裁剪方法 5 裁剪方法 6 裁剪方法 7 裁剪方法 8

S 的卷數 2 0
M 的卷數 0 2 1
L 的卷數 0
損耗 (m) 0.7 0.3 0.5 0.3

造紙公司要在符合顧客需求的情況下，把紙張損耗減至最低。另外，闊度為 0.9 m、1.1 m 和

1.3 m 的紙張的產量若多於客戶的需求，多餘的部分亦不當作損耗。
(c) 設 x11、x12、x13 分別為利用裁剪方法 1、2 和 3 從 I 類紙張裁剪出來的紙張長度 (m)。
設 x24、x25、x26、x27 和 x28 分別為利用裁剪方法 4、5、6、7 和 8 從 II 類紙張裁剪出
來的紙張長度 (m)。寫出需優化的目標函數及相關的約束條件。
