영문 초록

A pallet, typically a form of tertiary packaging, is a flat x`structure used as a base for the unitization of goods in the supply chain. Standard pallets, such as T-11 and T-12, are used throughout the logistics industry to reduce the cost and enhance the efficiency of transportation. However, it is impossible to handle special cargo using a standard pallet due to its size and weight, so customized pallets have been developed and are now in use. This study suggests a pallet size optimization method to calculate the optimal pallet size, which minimizes the loss of space on a pallet. The main input features are the specifications and the storage quantity of each cargo, and an optimization method that modified the Neighborhood Search Algorithm calculates the optimal pallet size. A comparative analysis was conducted through simulation to verify the optimality of the developed algorithm.
