This paper gives a review on existing scheduling methodologies developed for process
industries. Above all, the aim of the paper is to focus on the industrial aspects of scheduling …

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 …

Uncertainty is a very important concern in production scheduling since it can cause
infeasibilities and production disturbances. Thus scheduling under uncertainty has received …

During the last decade, the problem of production scheduling has been realized to be one of
the most important problems in industrial plant operations especially when multipurpose …

The problem of scheduling under bounded uncertainty is addressed. We propose a novel
robust optimization methodology, which when applied to mixed-integer linear programming …

The main objective of this work is to discuss planning and scheduling applications for
refinery operations. Firstly, the development of a nonlinear planning model for refinery …

This paper provides an overview of the key contributions within the planning and scheduling
communities with specific emphasis on uncertainty analysis. As opposed to focusing in one …

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 …

Despite the increased number of publications in the area during the last two decades, there
is no unified notation and systematic framework for chemical production scheduling. In this …
