There has been significant progress in the area of short-term scheduling of batch processes,
including the solution of industrial-sized problems, in the last 20 years. The main goal of this …

An overview of developments in the scheduling of multiproduct/multipurpose batch and
continuous processes is presented. Existing approaches are classified based on the time …

This paper reviews the advances of mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) based
approaches for the scheduling of chemical processing systems. We focus on the short-term …

A new continuous-time MILP model for the short-term scheduling of multipurpose batch
plants is presented. The proposed model relies on the state− task network (STN) approach …

This article provides a review about how uncertainties in increasingly complex production
and supply chains should be addressed in scheduling tasks. Uncertainty management will …

Scheduling is a major component for the efficient operation of the process industries.
Especially in the current competitive globalized market, scheduling is of vital importance to …

In this paper, we present a brief overview of enterprise-wide optimization and challenges in
multiscale temporal modeling and integration of different models for the levels of planning …

A hybrid Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP)/Constraint Programming (CP)
decomposition algorithm is proposed for the short-term scheduling of batch plants that rely …

Joint production and distribution planning at the operational level has received a great deal
of attention from researchers. In most industries these processes are decoupled by means of …

Many multiproduct batch plants in the chemical industry employ multiple stages of
nonidentical parallel units and operate on the basis of customer orders with different delivery …
