Modern steel production centers on the hot rolling mill as a key component. Scheduling for
hot rolling mills is a challenging problem that has fascinated optimization researchers and …

Due to the resource constraints of the factors of production (land, capital, capacity, etc.), the
firms have to rationalize the assortment of products that they deal in. In such a situation, a …

Rescheduling is an important means of production and operation management to realise
efficient production in dynamic environments. In smart shop floors, diverse manufacturing …

In this paper we present a new approach for solving energy market equilibria that is an
extension of the classical Nash-Cournot approach. Specifically, besides allowing the market …

Previous studies on production planning indicated that kee** updated information on
estimates of demand, estimates of production capacity, estimates of available resources …

In recent years mixed model production industries are highly interested to apply Industry 4.0
and internet of things. The existing planning and scheduling methods are not efficient …

Planning and scheduling of multiple projects is significant for efficient utilization of constraint
resources. However, in most of the project based companies, planning and scheduling of …

An analytic solution for computing the temperature distribution over material thickness
during hot flat rolling is so complex that finding the exact answer takes too much time. We …

In this paper, we investigate the scheduling policies in the iron and steel industry, and in
particular, we formulate and propose a solution to a complicated problem called skin pass …

This paper adopts the approach of fuzzy set theory into the context of a practical production
planning problem encountered frequently in steel rolling mills, where the objective is to …
