There has been significant progress in the area of short-term scheduling of batch processes,
including the solution of industrial-sized problems, in the last 20 years. The main goal of this …

An overview of developments in the scheduling of multiproduct/multipurpose batch and
continuous processes is presented. Existing approaches are classified based on the time …

Filling a void in chemical engineering and optimization literature, this book presents the
theory and methods for nonlinear and mixed-integer optimization, and their applications in …

A general framework for handling a wide range of scheduling problems arising in
multiproduct/multipurpose batch chemical plants is presented. Batch processes involving a …

In this work, we provide an overview of our previously published works on incorporating
demand uncertainty in midterm planning of multisite supply chains. A stochastic …

This paper reviews the advances of mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) based
approaches for the scheduling of chemical processing systems. We focus on the short-term …

During the last decade, the problem of production scheduling has been realized to be one of
