This paper gives a review on existing scheduling methodologies developed for process
industries. Above all, the aim of the paper is to focus on the industrial aspects of scheduling …

This work presents a review of the main deterministic mixed‐integer nonlinear programming
(MINLP) solution methods for problems with convex and nonconvex functions. An overview …

In comparison with the power sector, large scale decarbonisation of heat has received
relatively little attention at the infrastructural scale despite its importance in the global CO2 …

Scheduling is a major component for the efficient operation of the process industries.
Especially in the current competitive globalized market, scheduling is of vital importance to …

Optimal decision-making in a process industry is fundamental in order to guarantee
optimality of operations and increase profits and performance of a company. Decision …

A new and simple general mathematical formulation for scheduling multipurpose plants
involving batch and/or continuous processes, based on the resource− task network (RTN) …

This work addresses the scheduling of continuous plants subject to energy constraints
related to time-dependent electricity pricing and availability. Discrete-and continuous-time …

An enhanced continuous-time formulation is presented for the short-term scheduling of
multipurpose batch plants with intermediate due dates. The proposed formulation is based …

The rolling horizon method has been proposed to address the integrated production
planning and scheduling optimization problem. Since the method can generally result in …

In this paper we consider the solution methods for mixed-integer linear fractional
programming (MILFP) models, which arise in cyclic process scheduling problems. We first …
