HEURISTIC MODEL FOR PRODUCTION SCHEDULING WIDE-STRIP ROLLING MILL

The article deals with the methodology of creating the production schedule for wide-strip rolling mill, defining the rules, calculating types and number of campaigns, in the defined planning period, filling the campaigns, and campaigns sequence. In model creation is apply the heuristic approach, which is based on experiences of expert in production scheduling in metallurgy. On Induction thinking and analogy are defined heuristics rules. Other rules are defined with the regularities of technology, limitation and optimization criteria. Rules that we do not know resp. we do not want to be modeled we will continue to human expert.
