What is it about?

We suggest a fast and efficient algorithm to schedule cuts in a way compliant with finite intermediate buffer capacities.

Why is it important?

Real industrial cutting processes have finite buffer capacities... therefore you should consider it before solving your cutting problem. If not, the sequence in which you cut items can be infeasible, or simply chaotic. We suggest how to deal with this issue in an efficient way.
