This paper investigates a practical steelmaking scheduling problem with batching decisions
and energy constraints, in which batching is used to decide how to group and sequence a …

In this paper, we address the steelmaking scheduling problems with multiple constrained
resources. The objective is to minimize the maximum completion time. We consider the …

This article studies a steelmaking-continuous casting (SCC) scheduling problem by
considering ladle allocation. It takes technological rules in steel manufacturing and ladle …

In this paper we present a decomposition strategy for solving large scheduling problems
using mathematical programming methods. Instead of formulating one huge and unsolvable …

Electricity-intensive process industries are seeking for new ways to achieve savings on
energy costs, taking advantage of the liberalization of electrical markets and integration of …

Energy-intensive industries can take advantage of process flexibility to reduce operating
costs by optimal scheduling of production tasks. In this study, we develop an MILP …

The steelmaking process scheduling problem by considering variable electricity price
(SMSPVEP) was investigated. A decomposition approach was proposed for the SMSPVEP …

We propose a general model for the problem of planning and scheduling steelmaking and
casting activities obtained by combining common features and constraints of the operations …

This paper investigates a practical batching decision problem that arises in the batch
annealing operations in the cold rolling stage of steel production faced by most large iron …

This paper presents a transparent model and a solution approach to solve a large-scale
rolling batch scheduling problem. First, the problem is formulated as a multiple routes …
