I need some help.

Our company is currently purchasing a 6ft piece of insulation (UOM Each) to be cut into smaller pieces. We have the smaller pieces set up as part numbers with a UOM of Each and we know the relationship of the smaller piece to the larger piece (i.e 1x 3ft piece = 0.5x 6ft piece).

We have multiple sizes and we know the way to best optimize the cutting of the insulation to reduce the scrap. We want to be able to set up product structures so that shop orders can be automatically created based on the optimized cutting patterns.

Any thoughts on how we can do this? We are currently at a lost so any ideas would be helpful
