Material reallocation

Details of material reallocation module

I was the designer responsible for the Automatic Material Reallocation Module for the cold rolling area through. I designed this module using a special purpose bipartite-graph matching heuristic a basis to optimize the allocations of materials (Coils). The module was implemented in C++ (server), MQ-Series (communication), Visual Basic (graphical interface) and Oracle (database). The allocations were followed by the automatic generation of the cutting sequence respecting the shears restrictions. I designed the cutting sequence feature having a brute-force tree-search algorithm as a basis.
