Optimization of stocks management and production scheduling by simulation of the continuous casting, rolling and finishing departments

Objective

The CC, Rolling and Finishing areas have a clear connection in terms of scheduling. The product-mix is continuously rescheduled and the coils movements between mills, lines and intermediate warehouses imply a significant part of the product cost structure.

Some breaks in the supply chain could lead to expensive production stops and even coils losses. One solution of these problems is the simulation. The main output is a software tool that implements a method to solve problems of the production flows of a modern steel plant. It will be based on an intelligent system consisting of a scheduler and a simulator of the materials flows.

The tool will be provided with an innovative user interface, based on web technology. The pilot activities will be carried out at Aceralia Aviles and ThyssenKrupp Acciai Speciali Terni plant.
