A Multi-week Scheduling Approach for the Steel-making Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work further elaborates on the steel plant MILP production scheduling method presented in Harjunkoski and Grossmann (2001). The proposed improvements include a more flexible model for the casting step, as well as combining orders from consecutive weeks to improve one of the main targets, which is increasing the number of heats per casting sequence. The paper presents a strategy to obtain optimal casting sequences by using an MILP approach.

A Tabu Search Method for a New Bi-Objective Open Shop Scheduling Problem by a Fuzzy Multi-Objective Decision Making Approach (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper proposes a novel, bi-objective mixed-integer mathematical programming for an open shop scheduling problem (OSSP) that minimizes the mean tardiness and the mean completion time. To obtain the efficient (Pareto-optimal) solutions, a fuzzy multi-objective decision making (fuzzy MODM) approach is applied. By the use of this approach, the related auxiliary single objective formulation can...
متن کاملStability Assessment Metamorphic Approach (SAMA) for Effective Scheduling based on Fault Tolerance in Computational Grid
Grid Computing allows coordinated and controlled resource sharing and problem solving in multi-institutional, dynamic virtual organizations. Moreover, fault tolerance and task scheduling is an important issue for large scale computational grid because of its unreliable nature of grid resources. Commonly exploited techniques to realize fault tolerance is periodic Checkpointing that periodically ...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Algorithm Based on a Hybrid Multi-Attribute Decision Making Method for the Multi-Mode Multi-Skilled Resource-constrained Project Scheduling Problem
This paper addresses the multi-mode multi-skilled resource-constrained project scheduling problem. Activities of real world projects often require more than one skill to be accomplished. Besides, in many real-world situations, the resources are multi-skilled workforces. In presence of multi-skilled resources, it is required to determine the combination of workforces assigned to each activity. H...
متن کاملAn algorithm for multi-objective job shop scheduling problem
Scheduling for job shop is very important in both fields of production management and combinatorial op-timization. However, it is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution to this problem with traditional opti-mization approaches owing to the high computational complexity. The combination of several optimization criteria induces additional complexity and new problems. In this paper, we pro...
متن کاملMulti-period and multi-resource operating room scheduling and rescheduling using a rolling horizon approach: a case study
In this paper, a multi-period and multi-resource operating room (OR) scheduling and rescheduling problem with elective and semi-elective (semi-urgent) patients is addressed. A scheduling-rescheduling framework based on the so-called rolling horizon approach is proposed to solve the problem. The core of the proposed framework is a novel proposed mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model with...
