THE EXCELLENCE OF DECKLE PLANNING

Complex part in Kraft Paper making process is its production planning. Paper mills have hundreds of corrugated box manufacturers as customers requiring varied paper sizes (width), quantity and roll diameter depending upon the box sizes to be produced. However, paper making machine, limited to its certain capacity, produce paper of fixed size in form of Jumbo Roll. At the later production stage, jumbo rolls are slit according to varied sizes of customer’s orders. The challenge is to find the best combinations of order sizes to match the size of jumbo roll to fulfil the orders of all selected orders with minimum paper wastage.
