Optimization Solution of Equal Dimension Boxes in Container Loading Problem Using a Permutation Block Algorithm

The Container Loading Problem consists of packing boxes of similar sizes into available Containers in such a way to optimize an objective function. In this paper we apply the concept of Permutation Block Algorithm (PBA) in the wall layer approach for the Load Optimization of Equal Dimension Boxes in the Container Loading Problem. The vehicle is loaded by means of either top side only or by any sides possible. The main objective of this paper is to increase the use of space while filling loads into the container.
