    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung. In der Stahlproduktion wird zur Kühlung des flüssigen Roheisens Metallschrott hinzugefügt. Dabei wird Schrott mit unterschiedlichem Gehalt an Eisen sowie an Spurenelementen eingesetzt. Abhängig von dieser Zusammensetzung variiert der Einkaufspreis für den Schrott. Für jeden produzierten Stahltyp sind gewisse Grenzwerte für Eisenanteil und den Gehalt an Spurenelementen im Stahl einzuhalten, um die geforderte Qualität zu erreichen. Der Schrott wird in Eisenbahnwaggons gelagert. Dadurch, daß Züge aus diesen Waggons gebildet werden müssen und diese Züge die Werkshalle auf dem vorgegebenen Gleisnetz erreichen bzw. verlassen müssen, entstehen zusätzlich zu den Materialrestriktionen auch noch Transportrestriktionen. Unser Ziel ist es, für jeden Produktionsprozeß die kostengünstigste Schrottzusammenstellung 0zu finden, so daß alle Material- und Transportrestriktionen eingehalten werden. Wir modellieren das Problem mit Hilfe eines gemischt-ganzzahligen linearen Programms (MIP) und lösen es mit dem kommerziellen MIP-Löser CPLEX. Unsere Rechenergebnisse für reale Produktionsserien zeigen bemerkenswerte Einsparungen gegenüber dem zur Zeit verwendeten Verfahren.
    Notes: Abstract. In steel production, scrap metal is used for cooling the enormous quantity of heat produced by blowing oxygen on hot metal. Scrap differs in regard to the content of iron and of some tramp elements. The price of the scrap depends on these attributes. Each melting bath unit of steel has its own material constraints for the amount of iron and tramp elements in order to guarantee the desired quality. In addition, the transportation of scrap is restricted because it needs time and space: the scrap is kept in some railroad cars in the scrap hall; empty cars must leave the hall, filled cars must be taken from several railroad tracks in the scrap yard and assembled to a train before transportation to the hall. There are upper limits for the number of cars in the hall and in the train, also for the number of railroad tracks used for assembly. Our objective is to find a minimum cost scrap combination for each melting bath unit of steel that obeys the material and transportation constraints. We model the problem using a MIP (mixed integer linear programming) approach. Real-life situations are solved with the commercial MIP-solver CPLEX. We present computational results which show significant improvement compared to the strategy applied today.

    Description: We propose a hybrid approach for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem which is an extremely hard to solve combinatorial optimization problem of practical relevance. Jobs have to be scheduled on (renewable) resources subject to precedence constraints such that the resource capacities are never exceeded and the latest completion time of all jobs is minimized. The problem has challenged researchers from different communities, such as integer programming (IP), constraint programming (CP), and satisfiability testing (SAT). Still, there are instances with 60 jobs which have not been solved for many years. The currently best known approach, lazyFD, is a hybrid between CP and SAT techniques. In this paper we propose an even stronger hybridization by integrating all the three areas, IP, CP, and SAT, into a single branch-and-bound scheme. We show that lower bounds from the linear relaxation of the IP formulation and conflict analysis are key ingredients for pruning the search tree. First computational experiments show very promising results. For five instances of the well-known PSPLIB we report an improvement of lower bounds. Our implementation is generic, thus it can be potentially applied to similar problems as well.
