Optimum integrated cast plan for steelmaking-continuous casting production scheduling using improved genetic algorithm

Abstract

In this paper, a planning method of cast for steelmaking continuous casting production scheduling in integrated production process is studied. The integrated cast plan model is established. A modified genetic algorithm with adaptive operator is proposed to solve the optimum integrated cast plan problem. Simulations have been carried out with practical data in steel and iron plant and the results show that the model and the solving method are very effective
