Production scheduling and process control have the common aim of identifying
(economically) optimal operational decisions, and it is reasonable to expect that significant …

Optimal decision-making in a process industry is fundamental in order to guarantee
optimality of operations and increase profits and performance of a company. Decision …

Significant progress in the area of simultaneous design and control for chemical processes
has been achieved and various methodologies have been put forward to address this issue …

In order to achieve optimal operational conditions, the integration of decision-making across
different layers of a company and the consideration of uncertain parameters in view of …

We propose a closed loop strategy to implement simultaneous scheduling and control for
chemical processes subject to disturbances. Evidences from published work in the literature …

We provide a systematic review of current progress in integrated control and operations.
Recently, an increasing number of integrated methods have been presented in the literature …

Sustainability has been defined as the concept of meeting the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs [1]. Other definitions …

We propose a model-based optimization approach for the integration of production
scheduling and dynamic process operation for general continuous/batch processes. The …

The integration of process operations and dynamic optimization leads to large scale
optimization problems whose monolithic solution is challenging. In this paper we propose a …

The integration of production management and process control decisions is critical for
improving economic performance of the chemical supply chain. A novel framework for …
