Operational Research (O.R .) case studies

Explore a Bin-Packing Problem scenario where you aim to efficiently store music files on CDs without splitting songs. Learn how Operational Research principles can help solve such optimization challenges. Discover real-world applications like loading vehicles on ferries or buying cable in fixed lengths. Next steps involve delving into problem-solving approaches for similar cases.

  1. Operational Research (O.R.) case studies

  2. What’s the problem? www.LearnAboutOR.com

  3. You are saving music files to CD You have a number of music files of different sizes And you have 5 CDs www.LearnAboutOR.com

  4. You know that the total storage capacity of the CDs is enough for all your files www.LearnAboutOR.com

  5. But is it possibleto fit all the songs you have on to the CDs? (without splitting songs!) www.LearnAboutOR.com

  6. This is an example of a Bin-Packing Problem www.LearnAboutOR.com

  7. Bin-Packing Problems There are some containers all with the same cross-section and height There are some objects, also with this cross-section, but with different heights How do you pack the objects into the containers using as few containers as possible? www.LearnAboutOR.com

  8. Other examples where this might be used Loading vehicles of different lengths on to the lanes of ferries www.LearnAboutOR.com

  9. Other examples where this might be used Buying cable that is sold in fixed lengths (when various shorter lengths are needed to complete a job) www.LearnAboutOR.com

  10. What next? Over the next few lessons, we will look at ways of approaching problems of this type… www.LearnAboutOR.com
