The topic of supply chain management in dairy industry has received a great deal of
attention in recent years due to its structural characteristics, such as long sequence …

In this paper we address the production scheduling and distribution planning problem in a
yoghurt production line of the multi-product dairy plants. A mixed integer linear programming …

This paper considers a dairy industry problem on integrated planning and scheduling of set
yoghurt production. A mixed integer linear programming formulation is introduced to …

In the dairy processing, the rapid quality decay of milk-based intermediate mixture to make
and pack restricts productivity and, forces organizations to carefully plan and schedule their …

We propose a polylithic method for medium-term scheduling of a large-scale industrial plant
operating in a continuous mode. The method combines a decomposition approach, a …

This paper addresses a production planning problem in a multistage production system
consisting of continuous processing resources separated by finite-capacity storage tanks …

General lot-sizing and scheduling is a well-studied problem in the literature, but for
perishable or time-sensitive products is less investigated. Also, most of studies on …

This paper presents a multi-week mixed integer linear programming (MILP) scheduling
model for an ice cream processing facility. The ice cream processing is a typical complex …

This paper presents a Constraint Programming (CP) scheduling model for an ice cream
processing facility. CP is a mathematical optimisation tool for solving problems either for …

In the food sector, it is necessary to maintain quality and products from the production of
dairy products to the final supply point. It aims to minimize the objective function and level of …
