Abstract
Nolde and Morari (2010) study a steel manufacturing scheduling problem where the tasks must be scheduled such that electricity consumption matches to a pre-specified periodic energy chart. They propose a continuous time integer linear programming formulation to solve the problem. In this note, we present an alternative continuous time formulation, focused on the relative positions of tasks and time periods, that improves significantly the computation time.
