Steel Mill Slab Design¶
Principles learned¶
Define the actual set of decision variables
Preprocess the input to create useful data for the model
Access an array with an “at” operator at an index that is an expression
Problem¶
Steel is produced by casting molten iron into slabs. A steel mill can produce a finite number of slab sizes. An order has two properties, a color corresponding to the route required through the steel mill and a weight.
Given input orders, the problem is to assign the orders to slabs, the number and size of which are also to be determined, such that the total weight of steel produced is minimised. In other words we want to minimize the waste of steel (steel produced in addition to the actual sizes of orders). This assignment is subject to two further constraints:
Capacity constraints: The total weight of orders assigned to a slab cannot exceed the slab capacity.
Color constraints: Each slab can contain at most p of k total colors (p is usually 2). The color constraints arise because it is expensive to cut up slabs in order to send them to different parts of the mill.
For more details, see CSPLib and beCool.
Download the exampleData¶
The format of the data is as follows:
1st line: number of slab sizes, then the sequence of sizes
2nd line: number of colors
3rd line: number of orders
Then for each order: size and color of the order
Program¶
The model is based on the assignment of orders to slabs. An important point is
that we associate no decision variable to the selected size for a slab. Instead,
the wasted steel in each slab is automatically determined by its content. The
waste is zero when the content fits exactly in one of the possible slab sizes
and increases linearly otherwise. We define an array of values
wasteForContent
representing this saw-tooth profile, which allows a very
simple writing of this non-linear relationship: wastedSteel[j] <-
wasteForContent[slabContent[j]]
. It is pre-computed after the instance data
has been read. The slab size being determined by the content, we must still
ensure by a constraint that the maximum slab size is not exceeded.
It is a typical example of the importance of defining the right set of decision variables as explained in our quick start guide.
