Iron and steel industry ,which provides raw and semi-finished materials for construction, automobile, machinery industries and so on, is an important basic industry in the industrial economy, and is an essential and sizable sector for industrialized economies. The importance of effective planning and scheduling in this industry to the cost, energy reduction and environment protection is by no means less than that in other industries, but the planning and scheduling in iron and steel production is not drawn wide attention. Unlike the production planning & scheduling in machinery industry, the production planning & scheduling in iron and steel industry involves job grouping and precedence constraints, and high job waiting costs due to high temperature of jobs, adding the extra difficulties to the planning & scheduling. In this paper, the theories and methods of the planning and scheduling methods proposed by the author on the basis of the stimulation in steel industry were reviewed.
