Abstract The Pallet Grouping Problem (PGP) is defined as minimizing the number of pallets for placing all materials in a collection and distribution center. A key to solving the PGP is to tackle the Pallet Loading Problem (PLP). The Pallet Loading Problem aims to maximize the number of identical rectangular boxes placed within a rectangular pallet. All boxes have identical rectangular dimensions and, when placed, must be located completely within the pallet. In this paper, a novel pallet grouping technology is proposed and a new learning algorithm, namely Learning Only from Excellence, (LOE) is presented for solving the pallet loading problem. Simulation results show that compared with the conventional Genetic Algorithm (AG) for two pallet loading problems with different scales, the new learning algorithm is proved to be more efficiently.
