Steel-making and continuous casting (SCC) processes are considered the main bottlenecks in the steel industry. We consider planning and scheduling problems in SCC processes and provide an overview of the literature with our commentary. The planning problem has as goal to create out of customer orders production units for the various production processes. The scheduling problem assigns these production units to the production facilities over different time intervals. We review a large number of planning and scheduling papers and propose two basic models for the planning and the scheduling problems that incorporate the most common and essential features. We describe for each problem the respective constraints and objectives as well as the practical implications in an actual production environment. We also analyse the methodologies used in their solutions, including decomposition strategies. In the …
