Imagine a whole box of lengths of aluminium sections for making windows.
To make those windows I need to cut these lengths into smaller sizes.
I need to do this economically.
How can I use Excel to help me make this a reality.
Firstly you would take a big size out of it and then another size out of the offcut piece.
And then another size out of the offcut left over.
I need to know how many full stock lengths (6500) long it will take to cut all the pieces listed above.
Is it possible?
You need to take into account the quantity of each size and fit it all in together for the most optimal outcome.
See attached example of possible layout.
