AbstractWhile time series forecasting models are generally trained by optimising certain forms of error, the end-user’s forecasting needs in a multi-objective setting can be broader, and often mutually conflicting. A production manager may prioritise high product fill rates and low average inventory resulting from a forecast over just low error. The conflict among multiple objectives is notably worrisome in intermittent demand forecasting, where error-minimising approaches can devalue the practitioner’s objectives. To address such forecasting problems, we propose an Adaptive Multi-objective Optimal Combination (AMOC) of forecasts which incorporates the end-user’s preferences across multiple objectives. We demonstrate the use of AMOC in a real-life application of intermittent demand forecasting for optimising four distinct inventory management objectives using five specialised forecasting methods across single-period and multi-period inventory handling scenarios. Additionally, we conduct a comprehensive experiment on a subset of M5 competition data to exhibit the robustness of the AMOC using 13 diverse forecasting methods and four statistical objectives.Keywords: Time series forecastingmulti-objective optimisationpreference value functionadaptive algorithmforecast combination Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 An older working paper was available at the IIMA Research and Publications department (https://www.iima.ac.in/sites/default/files/rnpfiles/73560124152022-06-04.pdf?cv=1).

AbstractSteel-making and continuous casting (SCC) processes are considered the main bottlenecks in the steel industry. We consider planning and scheduling problems in SCC processes and provide an overview of the literature with our commentary. The planning problem has as goal to create out of customer orders production units for the various production processes. The scheduling problem assigns these production units to the production facilities over different time intervals. We review a large number of planning and scheduling papers and propose two basic models for the planning and the scheduling problems that incorporate the most common and essential features. We describe for each problem the respective constraints and objectives as well as the practical implications in an actual production environment. We also analyse the methodologies used in their solutions, including decomposition strategies. In the last section, we present the conclusions of our survey and propose new research directions.Keywords: Steel-makingcontinuous castingproduction planningschedulingsurvey Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea(NRF) grant funded by the Korea government(MSIT) (Grant Number: NRF-2023R1A2C200694911).
