Abstract
A common warehouse/distribution problem is the unitization of pallet loads. A linear programming model has been developed to determine optimal stacking patterns on the basis of the dimensions of the boxes that constitute the load. The desired dimensions of the finished load may be user specified. No restriction is placed on the number of boxes of various types that may be loaded. The developed model is two-dimensional and assumes that all boxes have the same height.Keywords
