Abstract
A method and apparatus is disclosed for substantially minimizing or eliminating scrap lenghts of material from being cut from an initial undeterminable length of material. A material is fed toward a cutting device. The material is cut in accordance with an initial cut length schedule that is a value between acceptable customer's limits. The trailing end of the material is monitored and the length of the remaining material is determined. The cut length schedule is then adjusted within the limits in accordance with the determined remaining length to bring the last length of material within the permissible limits or if not possible, then to substantially minimize the scrap cut length of material which falls outside of the limits.
