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 …

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 …

Benders decomposition uses a strategy of``learning from one's mistakes.''The aim of this
paper is to extend this strategy to a much larger class of problems. The key is to generalize …

We review the integration of medium-term production planning and short-term scheduling.
