Abstract
An optimal scheduling algorithm for energy savings is developed for an ingot processing of the steel production, where a single blooming mill has to roll both ingots and blooms. The former comes from soaking pits and the latter from d continuous reheating furnace. To get some perspective of this complicated system, a network model is introduced for the system, and various constraints are expressed by capacitated arcs. Two linear programmings are derived through arc-chain formulation, and the scheduling is performed in two stages; allocation of the blooming-mill to specific rolling times, and then the optimal scheduling. A realistic example problem is also presented.
