Resumen

The application of genetic algorithms to obtain the optimum solution for the location problem in beam cutting is presented in this paper. The advantages of the generic algorithms and a comparison with other methods, such as the exhaustive search technique or the heuristic algorithms, are analyzed. Genetic algorithms began the search of the optimum solution with a random selection and then the search is automatically centered on the most advantageous zones. This multiple search allows the genetic algorithms to reach the global optimum solution in a safer way. Some examples shown the advantages of the proposed methods are given.
