Cut order planning involves planning cutting instructions as input for the marker making stage so that the cutting room receives complete instructions. It is a dynamic process that must respond to changing factors like sales, inventory, materials, and labor availability. Current approaches range from manual to customized software. CAD/CAM systems allow adjustments to be made quickly and minimize waste, reducing costs and speeding production. To calculate size-wise cutting quantities for an order, the total order quantity is divided by the sum of the size ratios and multiplied by the ratio for each individual size.

Cut order planning
Cut order planning is the activity of planning the order for
cutting, as an input into the marker making stage so that the cutting room receives complete spreading and cutting instructions. The cut order planning process is a dynamic function that must respond to the ever changing status of many critical factors such as sales, inventory levels, raw materials, and availability of labour and equipment. The variety of sizes, styles, fabrics and colours induces significant complexity into the problem. The cutting room has a greater effect on excessive manufacturing costs than any other department concerned with the actual production of garments. Current industry approaches for performing cut order planning range from manual ad hoc procedures to customized proprietary software. Today it is advisable to use CAD/CAM systems wherever it is economically justified. Handmade markers are time consuming, and if you change your mind about the layout you have to start over from the beginning. Making patterns on a CAD system allows very precise drafting and measurements. But the real advantage is that each pattern is stored on the computer and adjustments can be made very quickly and easily. CAD systems allow the marker maker to play with the pieces until it gets a good layout that minimizes waste. Reduced labour costs and faster production are the benefits. Example How to calculate size wise cutting quantity for 10000 pieces? For example, suppose we have received a production order of 10000 pieces and the order size ratio is S:M:L:XL = 1:2:2:1. Mathematical calculation is used to convert ratios into quantity. You can use following steps to find size wise quantity.
Step#1. Calculate sum of all ratios. Here size ratio (1:2:2:1), 1+2+2+1 =6
Step#2. Divide total order quantity by sum of ratio (here 6)
Step#3. Multiply the result by ratio of a particular size
If we consider above data for example, size wise cutting quantity will be
Quantity in S = (10000 /6) x1 = 1666.66 = 1667
Quantity in M = (10000 /6) x2 = 3333.33 = 3333 Quantity in L = (10000 /6) x2 = 3333.33 = 3333 Quantity in XL = (10000 /6) x1 = 1666.66 = 1667
So we can write the formula as following
Quantity of a size = (order quantity X ratio of the particular size)/ (Sum of ratio of all sizes) The above calculation can be made easily by using excel sheet. You can create a table with formula. Later when you get order and size ratios, enter those on the specific cells; you will get actual cut quantity. For reference I have shown you a simple cut order plan (for single colour) in the following table.
