Abstract :
This article discusses a method of devising schedules for rolling hot steel ingots to slab thickness in minimum time, subject to constraints on draft, rolling force, rolling torque and motor power. Discrete dynamic programming is used as a tool to solve the problem. A computer program for computing the schedule is also presented.
