This paper addresses the optimal operation of multiproduct supply chain systems, using Model Predictive Control (MPC). The supply chain considered in this paper is a hybrid …
We propose a solution method for a water-network optimization problem using a nonconvex continuous NLP relaxation and an MINLP search. We report successful computational …

This paper presents a new multiple time grid continuous time MILP model for the shortterm scheduling of single or multistage, multiproduct plants. It can handle both release and due …
Often, it is very difficult to pose a model for a system even after the system is conceptually understood. The reason is the mathematical languages we employ have few forms of …
Process synthesis, when first emerged as a separate research area, was defined as “the act of determining the optimal interconnection of processing units as well as the optimal unit …
