Robust short-term scheduling of multiproduct batch plants under demand uncertainty. Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research, 40, 4543 1554. 

The scheduling problem of a multiproduct batch plant under uncertain product demand is addressed with the aim to maximise the expected profit. The scheduling policy involves the number of batches to be produced for each product, the detailed sequence and the starting and final times of each operation performed.
