Abstract
This paper deals with the optimization of the casted billet’s lengths, in the context of diverse received orders. Linear programming is used in order to solve the optimization problem, such that minimum cost for the optimal lengths results. A technological constraint is that the number of resulted billets for each casted length must be an integer one. The authors also propose an algorithm for determining the number of batches of liquid steel needed to cover all pieces at optimal lengths for the diverse orders, and also the scheduling order of the casting process.
