A method for producing a metal strip () by casting and rolling, wherein first a slab () is cast in a caster () by dispensing metal from a mold (), wherein the slab () is deflected from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction in the region of a strand guide (), wherein the slab () is then tempered in a furnace (), wherein the slab () is rolled in a rolling train () after the furnace () and wherein the slab () is processed either in discontinuous batch operation or in continuous or semi-continuous operation in dependence on a specified manner of operation. According to the invention, in order to create optimal process conditions for all desired operating modes, the slab () to be rolled or the metal strip () being rolled is subjected to heating in the region of the rolling train () at least between two roll stands () by means of an inductor ().
