Abstract :
This paper proposes a new integer programming model and a tabu search heuristics for large-scale scheduling in the iron and steel industry, called color-coating production scheduling (CCPS). The results obtained from real production instances show that the model and heuristics are more effective and efficient with comparison to the manual scheduling
