Abstrakt: The studied casting plant has only a furnace and several molding machines in order to produce a known demand of different types of items which can be made of different alloys. There are two important and linked decision levels: for each programming period, which alloy should be produced in the furnace, and the quantity of items to be produced in each molding machine. Two cases are distinguished: a single alloy can produce all items, and different alloys are needed in order to produce the items. Assuming that the furnace is the production bottleneck, efficient problem-based solution methods are proposed.
