Abstract
This paper describes a development of scheduling system for an aluminum hot rolling process. A scheduling of hot rolling process is consist of three elements that a decision of rolling sequence, a selection of furnace and an arrangement of slabs in a furnace, and it requires special knowledge because there are many constraint for the decision of above scheduling process. Consequently, we have developed a scheduling system which uses local search method and heuristic approach, and it makes possible to plan a hot rolling scheduling without skilled processing staff.
