This book presents a number of efficient techniques for solving large-scale production scheduling and planning problems in process industries. The main content is supplemented by a wealth of illustrations, while case studies on large-scale industrial applications, ranging from continuous to semicontinuous and batch processes, round out the coverage.
The book examines a variety of complex, real-world problems, and demonstrates solutions that are applicable to scenarios and countries around the world. Specifically, these case studies include:
the production planning of the bottling stage of a major brewery at the Cervecer?a Cuauht?moc Moctezuma (Heineken Int) in Mexico;
the production scheduling for multi-stage semicontinuous processes at an ice-cream production facility of Unilever in the Netherlands;
the resource-constrained production planning for the yogurt production line at the KRI KRI dairy production facility in Greece; and
the production scheduling for large-scale, multi-stage batch processes at a pharmaceutical batch plant in Germany.
In addition, the book includes industrial-inspired case studies of:
the simultaneous planning of production and logistics operations considering multi-site facilities for semicontinuous processes; and
the integrated planning of production and utility systems in process industries under uncertainty.
Solving Large-scale Production Scheduling and Planning in the Process Industries offers a valuable reference guide for researchers and decisl*
