Otimização da configuração produtiva da planta de laminação a frio de aços planos

Abstract

The need to optimize production costs of industrial processes associated to the guarantee of mechanical properties, dimensional and superficial of the characteristics materials produced in cold rolling plant, requires that additional processes be properly evaluated. One of them is the electrolytic cleaning line, responsible for removing oily residues from rolling. Currently, this line operates in one shift basis. The aim is to determine the most appropriate production configuration, with the best value from the modeling of the linear optimization problem and its solution through commercial software. This work allowed us to find results that are of great importance for the operational process, such as minimization of idleness, lower reprocessing volume and better productivity indicators, which contributes to increase the company's profitability
