Title
Integrated problem of soaking pit heating and hot rolling scheduling in steel plants
Abstract
•Investigate flow shop scheduling problem with capacitated batch-processing machines.•Propose an integer programming model and a branch and bound algorithm to solve it to optimality.•Several optimality properties are proved; based on these optimality properties, a heuristic algorithm with worst-case analysis is designed to obtain near-optimal solutions.•Thorough computational experiments are performed to compare the performance of the model and the algorithms.
