Abstract

This paper investigates a large-scale scheduling problem in the iron and steel industry, called color-coating production scheduling (CCPS). The problem is to generate multiple production turns for the galvanized coils that dynamically arrive from upstream lines within a given scheduling horizon, and at the same time determine the sequence of these turns so that the productivity and product quality are maximized while the production cost and the number of generated turns are minimized. We formulate this problem as a mixed integer nonlinear program and propose a tabu search heuristic to obtain satisfactory solutions. Results on real production instances show that the presented model and heuristic are more effective and efficient with comparison to manual scheduling. A practical scheduling system for CCPS combining the model and heuristic has been developed and successfully implemented in a major iron and steel enterprise in China.
