A comparative review of zero-waste fashion design thinking and operational research on cutting and packing optimisation

This paper provides a review aimed at comparing cutting and packing (C&P) research in the textile industry area of zero-waste fashion design (ZWFD). Both domains seek to minimise waste material while approaching problem from very different perspectives. The C&P investigates use mathematical computational techniques for minimising marker planning problem, ZWFD creative pattern making solutions same problem. A systematic literature was performed based on content bibliometric analysis 22 papers published peer-reviewed journals 2010 until 2021. maps direction both as an opportunity stimulate further future encouraged by integration areas address designs’ manufacturability incorporating process with optimisation algorithm process.
