چکیده
This dissertation has been completed in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the dutch institute of systems and control (disc) for graduate study. Acknowledgments This thesis is the result of four years of research carried out at the Delft Center of Systems and Control (DCSC) of the Delft University of Technology. Looking back to these years, I feel deeply indebted to several people who helped me in different ways to make all this happen. First of all, I would like to express sincere gratitude to my supervisors Paul Van den Hof and Xavier Bombois. Thank you Paul for giving me the opportunity to be a PhD candidate in DCSC. It has been one of the greatest challenges in my life so far and now I am looking forward to tackle new ones using the compe-tences and skills that I have developed here. Thank you for directing my research without imposing your point of view and for reminding me to maintain a broad perspective while focusing on specific problems. Xavier, I would have never managed to finalize this PhD without your invaluable scientific and human support. Thank you for your supervision, friendship, and care during the good and the difficult times of these years. Thank you for helping me organizing my thoughts when I was confused and for cooking delicious Italian food when you invited me for lunch at your place. You are for me an outstanding professional and moral example to follow. I am grateful to all the colleagues in DCSC. Working in close contact with you has been at the same time stimulating from an intellectual perspective, and a lot of fun. I would like to mention Ali and Anna for being super office mates, Andrea for showing me around when I had just arrived, Max for being an valid collaborator and for the help with the Dutch translation of this thesis, Aleksandar for the evenings out in Rotterdam, Amol for his wise life and research tips, Dario for the long march in Montréal and the road trip to Hana, Pawel for the (failed) road trip to Stuttgart, Roland for useful scientific discussions, Yashar for inviting me to his place several times, Ilya for his special sense of humor and for always calling for lunch, Mohammed, Renshi, Sadegh, and Pato for the exciting after-lunch foosball matches. Furthermore, I want to thank the secretaries of the department for being very …

An integrated vendor–buyer model with stochastic demand, lot-size dependent lead-time and learning in production
In this article, an imperfect vendor–buyer inventory system with stochastic demand, process quality control and learning in production is investigated. It is assumed that there are learning in production and investment for process quality improvement at the vendor’s end, and lot-size dependent lead-time at the buyer’s end. The lead-time for the first batch and those for the rest of the batches ...
متن کاملA New Acceptance Sampling Plan Based on Cumulative Sums of Conforming Run-Lengths
In this article, a novel acceptance-sampling plan is proposed to decide whether to accept or reject a receiving batch of items. In this plan, the items in the receiving batch are inspected until a nonconforming item is found. When the sum of two consecutive values of the number of conforming items between two successive nonconforming items falls underneath of a lower control threshold, the batc...
متن کاملA bi-objective model for a scheduling problem of unrelated parallel batch processing machines with fuzzy parameters by two fuzzy multi-objective meta-heuristics
This paper considers a bi-objective model for a scheduling problem of unrelated parallel batch processing machines to minimize the makespan and maximum tardiness, simultaneously. Each job has a specific size and the data corresponding to its ready time, due date and processing time-dependent machine are uncertain and determined by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Each machine has a specific capacity,...

Mathematical modeling and simulation of microbial Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production process is beneficial for optimization, design, and control purposes. In this study a batch model developed by Mulchandani et al., [1] was used to simulate the process in MATLAB environment. It was revealed that the kinetic model parameters were estimated off the optimal or at a local optimal point. There...
متن کاملA Neural Network Based Strategy for the Integrated Batch-to-Batch Control and within Batch Control of Batch Processes
An integrated batch-to-batch control and within batch re-optimisation control strategy for batch processes using neural network models is presented in this paper. In order to overcome the difficulties in developing detailed mechanistic models, neural network models are developed from process operation data. Due to model-plant mismatches and unknown disturbances, the optimal control policy calcu...
متن کاملBatch-to-Batch Iterative Learning Control for End-Point Qualities Based on Kernel Principal Component Regression Model
A batch-to-batch model-based iterative learning control (ILC) strategy for the end-point product quality control in batch processes is proposed in this paper. A nonlinear model for end-point product quality is developed from process operating data using kernel principal component regression (KPCR). The ILC algorithm is derived to calculate the control policy by linearizing the KPCR model around...
