Author Research Questions Research methods and shortcomings
Litvinchev, Pankratov & Romanova (2019) Open size single bin type 3D bin packing problem The problem is formulated using the phi function technique, which utilizes an analytical description of the relationship between irregular objects. The modeling approach involves formulating the problem as a nonlinear programming problem. However, it should be noted that the assumption made in the model, where each object is approximated by a polyhedron, may not precisely capture the exact shape of the real objects involved.
Que, Yang & Zhang (2023) Open size single bin type 3D bin packing problem The DRL model utilizes the Transformer architecture as a policy network and is trained through a neighborhood policy optimization algorithm. However, there are certain drawbacks associated with DRL. Firstly, DRL necessitates a substantial amount of problem instances for effective training. Secondly, the performance of the model is influenced by both the quality and quantity of data available for training.
Tsai, Wang & Lin (2015) 3D bin packing problem for open size multiple-bin types The 3D-ODRPP is converted into a hybrid integer linear programming problem to effectively address the challenge of finding optimal solutions for the 3D open-dimensional rectangular packing problem. However, it should be noted that the proposed model exhibits a high level of complexity, leading to long computation times.
This article 3D bin packing problem for open size multiple-bin types A 3D-MODRPP hybrid integer planning model is developed that allows for the existence of multiple open dimensions with different lengths, widths, and height dimension fetches based on the 3D-ODRPP problem Tsai, Wang & Lin (2015). A new 0–1 integer variable assumption method is proposed to reduce the model complexity and computation time.
