Abstract	After giving a suitable model for the cutting strips problem, we present a branch-and-price algorithm for it by combining the column generation technique and the branch-and-bound method with LP relaxations. Some theoretical issues and implementation details about the algorithm are discussed, including the solution of the pricing subproblem, the quality of LP relaxations, the branching scheme as well as the column management. Finally, preliminary computational experience is reported.
