A MetaHeuristic Optimization for Scheduling Heat-Treatment Furnace in Steel Casting Industry

This paper addresses a new research problem of scheduling, observed in steel casting industry, related to heat-treatment furnace, to minimize the maximum completion time of all castings. Due to computational intractability, a few greedy heuristic methods and Genetic Algorithm are proposed. A series of computational experiments conducted indicate that the GA implemented has excellent average performance in comparison with a lower-
