The invention discloses an intelligent stock-layout optimization method for woodworking sheet parts. The intelligent stock-layout optimization method includes the steps of S1, initializing relative parameters of a genetic algorithm, S2, selecting information of rectangular parts to be subjected to stock layout from a part library, S3, selecting relative information of woodworking sheets, capable of being used for stock layout of the rectangular parts, from a woodworking stock library, S4, encoding the information of the rectangular parts to be subjected to stock layout and generating an initial population randomly, S5, decoding the initial population one by one by a surplus rectangle filling based 'guillotine cutting' algorithm to acquire utilization rate of each stock layout scheme, and S6, optimizing the stock layout schemes by means of selection, crossover and mutation operations through the genetic algorithm, and outputting the optimal scheme correspondingly. According to the intelligent stock layout optimization method, 'guillotine cutting' process requirements for woodworking rectangular parts can be met, the optimal scheme can be found rapidly by means of combination of the intelligent algorithm and the heuristic algorithm, and thus, stock layout time is shortened obviously while material utilization rate of enterprises is increased greatly, and stock layout efficiency is increased.
