Production planning and scheduling

Several subproblems of design, production planning, and scheduling of batch plants have... 

The death of old products, the birth of new ones, changing demands, and the need to compose the optimal hierarchical production plan with an optimal use of the equipment and the shortest possible total production time make the timing of production more important than plant design. The use of rigorous optimization techniques can be most profitable at production planning and scheduling of existing batch plants, especially multipurpose plants. 

The production planning and scheduling solution presented here showed that systematic decision support tools not only provide an increase of production or...

The goal is to use common equipment in the manufacture of various products needed by the market via production planning and scheduling. An individual route may be selected for each batch of product, depending on the availability of the various pieces of equipment. The products may have low production requirements or may be at the beginning of their commercial life. These plants are rare, since when they are constituted, they are likely to be redefined as single-product plants for economic reasons.
