Abstract: In steelmaking-continuous casting production processes, cranes are often not in place on time, which may lead to delay in the implementation of the production equipment scheduling plan so that it becomes unrealizable. First, based on a steelmaking plant of Baosteel in China, we establish a crane scheduling model with constraints of production equipment scheduling plan. Second, we propose a heuristic algorithm to solve the crane interference problem, and we use the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to evaluate the results of crane scheduling plan. Finally, we develop a scheduling software system and verify the effectiveness of the proposed method by an industrial example.
