Provided is a method of batching and scheduling for steelmaking production with plant-wide process consideration, including the steps of: establishing a mathematical model for quantitatively describing the decision problem of batching on steelmaking and continuous casting procedures; starting from the production capacity balance between parallel equipment of the same procedure, and material flow convergence between upstream and downstream procedures, establishing a model for the assignment and sequencing of batches on continuous casting equipment and the time dimension; integrating the batching plan and the production scheduling scheme, issuing the batching plan and the production scheduling scheme integrated to all production and manufacturing units at the steelmaking stage. The present invention improves product quality, increases the material yield, resource utilization rate and equipment operation efficiency, realizes load balance on parallel equipment and smooth material linkage between serial equipment, and reduces the material flow transportation jam, downstream equipment waiting time and inventory.
