Abstract

Scheduling problems in manufacturing have been studied extensively in the literature. Nevertheless, the development and implementation of a computerized scheduling system in industry can raise a number of scientific questions that are still unsolved, concerning both the scheduling algorithms for special environments and the design decisions of the scheduling system. This paper presents a case study where a computerized scheduling system for the steelmaking continuous casting process of a steel plant has been developed and implemented successfully. We describe the scheduling system and its implementation for this practical case. But, equally important, we describe the decision problems that typically as in our case occur in the course of the development and implementation process, and we outline some of the scientific decision support currently available. From this we derive open questions in scheduling research that hopefully will stimulate future research.
