- I am helping one of our users who wants to get the maximum volume of boxes
- to fit in a shipping container. There are twelve different sized boxes.
- I'm interested in any software for solving this problem. Otherwise, is
- there a way to set this up as a linear or nonlinear programming problem?
- If so, how? Are there other methods one could use? Are there any
- published articles or books on the subject? Thanks for your help.
