For the feature of the steelmaking-molding with high temperature operations in the iron and steel industry, a coordinated scheduling problem with transportation before production on a single batching machine under the tracking time constraint is addressed in this paper. The processing time of a job is dependent on its tracking time. The processing time of a batch is the largest processing time among the jobs assigned to this batch. The objective is to minimize the total completion time and the total production cost. A mixed integer programming(MIP) model with production and transportation is developed. It is proved that the problem is strongly NP-hard through complexity analysis. Based on dynamic programming, optimal algorithms for two special cases are derived, and a heuristic algorithm is presented with its worst-case performance analysis. The simulation results show the effectiveness and stability of the heuristic algorithm.
