SIMULATION CUTTING WOOD WITH FULL TAPER CANT SAWING METHOD.

Abstract

Wood is the main source of raw materials required by a lumber mill. The initial process of the processing woof is the cutting of the log into boards. Problems commonly encountered wood factory is a factory uses raw materials inefficiently. This is due to limited knowledge and information in the processing of wood such as wood cutting techniques.

This study used a Greedy algorithms Integer knapsack with Full Taper Cant Sawing method, for simulation sawmill, timber size small radius 6cm, 8cm, 10cm large radius 8cm, 10cm, 12cm used in this study.

A measure of cant be limited to the width of 8cm, 10cm, 12cm thickness 6cm, 8cm, 10cm while the size of the resulting boards are 3-5cm wide and 2-3cm thick.

The simulation results show that the results are more optimal sawmill.
