Determine smallest possible size bin to use

brandonros opened this issue · 2 comments

I have 11,875 possible bin combinations (from 6x6x2" to 30x20x20") and a list of items that need to be shipped. Is it possible to figure out the smallest (most effective shipping cost wise) bin to pack items in?

"most effective shipping cost wise" depend on what you are saving cost or space.

  • if you are saving cost, which bin is the most effective cost? a small number of large bin or a large number of small bin?
  • if you are saving space, the small bin should be referred

@olragon @brandonros where you able to find a good way to find the most cost effective bin combination given a set of items ?
