Supply chain management is the art and science of delivering the right product in good quality, to the right customer, in the right place and at the right time. Bringing about the emergence of this much-wanted value is carried out by a synergic integration of an optimization tool within the control system rather than developing an isolated optimization solution. Then, if we move to the optimal planning tool in particular, it is believed that, the integration of planning and scheduling decisions of storage, routing and loading together making up an integrated optimization plan without contradictory goals, is vital for an efficient use of the three aforementioned bulk port operations. In this paper, we present an architecture to get the optimization tool fit into the industrial control system to consider disturbances, feedback cycles and dynamics. Then, we propose a novel approach of the integration of the three sub-optimizers using the …
