1. Describe the problem and its challenges¶

1. Problem description¶

The problem is to optimize the use of a limited resource (a roll of dough) to maximize the production value of biscuits. The solution must handle constraints like defect thresholds, biscuit placement rules, and minimizing waste.

Resource: A dough roll of 500 units in length.

Goal: Maximize profit by producing high-value biscuits and minimizing penalties for unused dough.

Key Considerations: Defects in the dough affect where biscuits can be placed. Each biscuit type has specific size, value, and defect limits.

2. Challenges¶

Constraints: Defects must not exceed the allowed limit for a biscuit. Biscuits cannot overlap, making placement more complex.

Balancing Goals: Maximize biscuit value while minimizing penalties. Find the best way to place smaller biscuits in defective areas and larger ones elsewhere.

Complexity: Multiple biscuit types create many possible arrangements.

Irregular Defects: Defect positions and severity vary, making planning harder.

Optimization Trade-offs: Maximizing profit may involve compromises between biscuit value and roll wastage.

3. Goals of the Project¶

Define the Problem: Build a clear model with all constraints and objectives.

Create a Solution: Develop an efficient algorithm to handle the complexity.

Validate Results: Test the solution for correctness and reliability, including edge cases.

Provide Insights: Analyze patterns in the solution and suggest improvements or adaptations for similar problems.

2. Formulating and implementing the problem using Python¶

This initial section of the code establishes the foundational data and parameters for solving the biscuit placement problem. It defines four types of biscuits, each characterized by its length, value, and tolerance for defects of three types (a, b, and c).

These parameters are stored as dictionaries and then grouped into a list called BISCUIT_LIST.

Additionally, biscuit features like their benefit-to-length ratio and defect tolerances are normalized and stored in a DataFrame (BISCUIT_FEATURES) to facilitate comparisons and calculations.

This preprocessing ensures that the biscuits' properties are properly scaled, which is critical for later optimization steps, like score calculation and decision-making during placement.

This section sets the stage for integrating constraints and objectives in subsequent parts of the code.

  • the total value is the sum of value of each biscuits in the roll.
  • index 0 is for the defects, '_' means no defects at this position.
  • index 1 is for the biscuits, '_' means no biscuits at this position.
In [5]:
# get the defects of the roll of dough
defect = pd.read_csv('defects.csv')
defect.head()
Out[5]:
x class
0 355.449335 c
1 92.496236 a

3 431.833902 c
4 435.028461 c

Actually, pos x of defects can be a float.

But in our case, because positions of biscuits are integer,

we can simplify the problem by taking the integral part of the positions x of defects :

In [6]:
defect['x'] = defect['x'].astype(int)
defect.head()
Out[6]:
x class
0 355 c
1 92 a
2 141 c
3 431 c
4 435 c

The code reads a dataset of defects, each defect is characterized by its position (x) and type (class).

The dataset initially stores the positions as floating-point values, but since biscuit placement occurs at integer positions, the positions are converted to integers. This simplifies aligning defects with the discrete indices of the dough roll.

In [7]:
# now we can place defects in our main roll

This part allows us to place defects on the dough roll at their corresponding positions. The place_defect method updates the defect counts (types a, b, c) at each position on the roll.

The main_roll.display() function visually represents the roll's current state. The defects are shown in a structured format, allowing you to observe their distribution along the roll.

For example at position 10 we have the defect 'b' and 'c'.

A partition of the roll is created from position 5 to position 20.

This feature allows for focused analysis or operations on a specific segment of the roll.

The partition.display() method shows the defects in the specified range, providing a localized view of the roll's condition.

In [47]:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
defects = [main_roll.defects[i] for i in range(main_roll.size)]
defect_a = [d['a'] for d in defects]
defect_b = [d['b'] for d in defects]
defect_c = [d['c'] for d in defects]

plt.plot(defect_a, label='Defect A')
plt.plot(defect_b, label='Defect B')
plt.plot(defect_c, label='Defect C')
plt.legend()
plt.title('Defect Distribution Across the Roll')
plt.xlabel('Position')
plt.ylabel('Defect Count')
plt.show()

The graph displays the distribution of defects (A, B, and C) across the roll positions, showing that defect counts vary significantly along the roll.

Peaks or higher bars indicate positions with more defects of that type, while gaps or shorter bars suggest fewer or no defects.

While some positions have no defects, others exhibit higher concentrations, particularly around positions 200-300. The non-uniform distribution highlights regions with fewer defects, which are more favorable for biscuit placement under the given constraints.

Two alternative problem-solving approaches¶

1- Local search¶

Local search is an optimization technique that iteratively improves a solution by exploring its neighboring configurations. Starting from an initial solution, it makes small changes (e.g., repositioning biscuits) and evaluates whether the new arrangement increases the total value while respecting constraints like defect thresholds, no overlap, and roll length.

The process continues until no further improvement is possible or a maximum number of iterations is reached, providing a feasible, often near-optimal solution.

For this particular problem, we chose Local Search because it efficiently finds near-optimal solutions in large search spaces, iteratively refining biscuit placements on the dough roll while balancing profit and constraints.

Its ability to adapt dynamically to changes in placement or defect configurations makes it suitable for handling the roll's variable defect constraints and limited length.

Value: 682.0:¶

This is the total profit (value of biscuits placed) before applying further iterations or adjustments.

Value: 703.0:¶

After iterations, the total value improved, showing that the local search algorithm optimized biscuit placements.

  • Biscuits are placed at integer positions.

  • No overlapping occurs.

  • Defect thresholds are respected.

  • The roll's length is not exceeded.

Local Search starts with an initial solution and iteratively improves it. It explores small changes (neighbors) to maximize value step-by-step.

Local Search is faster but may not always find the optimal solution.¶

The code visualizes the value progression during local search as the algorithm iteratively improves the solution.

  • The x-axis represents the iteration steps
  • the y-axis shows the cumulative total value achieved after each step. T

the plotted curve illustrates how the local search algorithm gradually improves the solution by adding biscuits to the roll, maximizing the total value while adhering to defect constraints.

The output graph demonstrates a steady increase in total value across iterations, indicating that the local search successfully optimizes the solution over time.

The plateau towards the end suggests convergence, where further improvements become negligible.

This plot highlights the effectiveness of local search in incrementally refining solutions, making it suitable for iterative optimization problems like biscuit placement.

2- CSP USING OR TOOLS¶

The Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) method works by formulating the biscuit placement as a set of variables and constraints. Each biscuit's start position is a variable, and constraints ensure that biscuits are placed at integer positions, do not overlap, respect defect thresholds, and stay within the roll's length. The objective function maximizes the total value of placed biscuits while penalizing unused roll sections. Using a solver (e.g., OR-Tools), the CSP systematically explores valid configurations to find an optimal or feasible solution that satisfies all constraints.

We selected CSP to ensure all constraints—like defect thresholds, biscuit overlap, and roll length limits—are strictly adhered to.

CSP systematically explores all possible arrangements to guarantee feasibility, providing a robust method for validating solutions in this highly constrained optimization problem.

Total Value: 715.0¶

This is the cumulative value (or profit) achieved by placing biscuits on the roll, minus penalties for unused roll sections. It signifies how effectively the CSP algorithm utilized the roll within the constraints provided.

The first element (start_position) is the starting index on the roll. The second element (biscuit_type) corresponds to the type of biscuit placed at that position. Example:

(0, 1) means a biscuit of type 1 starts at position 0 on the roll.

The visualization string (111111111111112233333...) shows distinct groups of numbers corresponding to different biscuit types. There is no overlap between these groups.

The CSP constraints ensure that biscuits are placed only if the defects under their range are within the specified thresholds.

So,

  • Integer positions are used.

  • No overlapping of biscuits.

  • Defect constraints are enforced.

  • Biscuit placements do not exceed the roll length.

CSP can become computationally expensive, especially with large roll lengths and many variables

The updated CSP approach incorporates specific heuristics to improve performance and solution quality:

  1. Value-to-Size Ratio Priority: Biscuits are prioritized based on their value-to-size ratio, ensuring that high-value, space-efficient biscuits are considered first.

  2. Initial Placement Hints: A heuristic hint mechanism guides the solver to favor certain positions for biscuit placement, based on periodic patterns or high-potential positions.

  3. Iterative Constraint Relaxation: Constraints are progressively refined in multiple iterations, starting with relaxed defect thresholds to explore broader solutions, and then tightening them to ensure feasibility.

  4. Dynamic Solver Configuration: The solver's search strategy leverages automatic branching on high-value decisions and limits unnecessary exploration of infeasible placements.

These heuristics collectively improve the likelihood of finding a better solution within a practical timeframe, which we did, 752 compared to 715

plot_occupied_positions(main_roll, optimized_solution, BISCUIT_LIST)

This graph visualizes the distribution of occupied and unused positions on the roll based on the optimized solution.

Each bar represents a position on the roll, where 1 indicates that the position is occupied by a biscuit, and 0 indicates it is unused.

The graph shows that the roll is mostly occupied, with a few gaps (unused positions) scattered throughout. These gaps occur due to constraints like defect thresholds or biscuit placement limitations. The consistent occupation across most of the roll demonstrates an efficient utilization of space while adhering to the problem constraints.

print(f"Old CSP: Total Value = {old_value}, Execution Time = {old_time:.2f}s")
print(f"New CSP: Total Value = {new_value}, Execution Time = {new_time:.2f}s")
Comparison:
Old CSP: Total Value = 715.0, Execution Time = 0.23s
New CSP: Total Value = 752.0, Execution Time = 0.44s

From this comparison:

  1. Total Value:

    • The new CSP with heuristic enhancements achieved a higher total value (752.0 vs. 715.0), showing its effectiveness in finding better solutions.
    • This demonstrates that the iterative refinement and heuristics helped the new CSP to maximize the objective function better than the old CSP.
  2. Execution Time:

    • The new CSP took longer to execute (0.44s vs. 0.23s). This increase in computation time is due to the added iterations and heuristic adjustments, which require additional processing to refine constraints and explore the search space more effectively.

Conclusion:
The new CSP is more effective at finding a better solution but comes at the cost of increased computation time. It depends on if solution quality is more important than runtime efficiency.

CSP ensures global feasibility of solutions but may leave unused gaps due to strict constraints.¶

Other approach : Dynamic Programming¶

Dynamic programming (DP) is well-suited for optimization problems where overlapping subproblems and optimal substructure properties exist.

DP guarantees an optimal solution for problems with discrete, well-defined constraints. It also efficiently handles constraints like space limitations and is easy to interpret.

Testing¶

TO IMPROVE :

  • Underutilization of the Roll: The "Occupied vs. Unused Positions" graph highlights significant portions of the roll that remain unused in some solutions. This indicates inefficiency in material utilization, which contradicts the problem's implied goal of minimizing waste.

  • Penalty for Unused Space: The project explicitly mentions penalizing unused space on the roll, but your code does not seem to fully incorporate this into the optimization process. This results in solutions that prioritize value over minimizing waste.

  • Solution Robustness: The local search method, while improving placement in some cases, does not appear to fully optimize the roll's utilization. This suggests a need for a more balanced approach between maximizing value and minimizing waste
