This article provides a review about how uncertainties in increasingly complex production
and supply chains should be addressed in scheduling tasks. Uncertainty management will …

This article proposes a review on waste minimization at the operational level of production
planning. After defining the research scope and the concept of waste minimization through …

Energy saving, global warming and greenhouse gas emissions have become major
technological, societal, and political issues. Being closely related to energy supply, they are …

This work presents a methodology for incorporating heat integration in batch process
scheduling. The formerly introduced S-graph approach [AIChE J. 48 (2002) 2557–2570] for …

Process Integration (PI) for resource conservation has become an increasingly popular topic
of research in line with growing emphasis toward circular economy and rising concern on …

There is a large body of work on modelling and optimisation of the supply chain in the
chemical process industry. This review summarises the most recent concepts and structural …

An effective short-term scheduling formulation must simultaneously deal with several
problem difficulties commonly arising in batch processes operations. One of the key features …

Scheduling is widely studied in process systems engineering and is typically solved using
mathematical programming. Although popular for many other optimization problems …

The practical problem to be computer aided as a motivational case study is custom printed
napkin manufacturing. A process network synthesis based solution is presented that, along …

This paper addresses scheduling and planning with financial management in the batch
chemical process industries. A cash flow and budgeting model is coupled with an advanced …
