We consider the problem of efficiently scheduling the production of goods for a model steel manufacturing company. We propose a new approach for solving this classic problem, using techniques from the statistical physics of complex networks in conjunction with depth-first search to generate a successful, flexible, schedule. The schedule generated by our algorithm is more efficient and outperfor...

Manufacturing execution system (MES) is a bridge that connects the top layer of planning and the bottom layer of control. In integrated automation system (IAS) whose structure is 3-layer BPS/MES/PCS, MES is the key circle to realize the integrating of integrated automation system in iron & steel enterprise. According to the characteristics of production management in iron & steel enterprise, th...

The project was conducted in a high quality steel wire manufacturing company with the production capacity of over 120,000 tones/annum. The wire drawn from the high speed wire drawing (KOCH) machine is fed as the raw material for BEKEART (zinc coating galvanization) furnace. The problem faced by the company is the variability in the amount of input to the furnace, which results from the breakdow...
