Abstract
In this paper we consider a typical case study of a continuous steel
making process. More specifically, we consider the part of a steel
plant consisting of the furnace, the secondary steel making units and
the continuous caster. First we write down a model for the evolution
of the system. Then we develop some techniques to design (sub)optimal
timing and sequencing schemes for this system. The methods we use
include a mixture of linear programming, genetic algorithms, tabu
search and heuristics.
