A novel continuous-time MILP approach for short- term scheduling of multipurpose pipeless batch plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents an alternative MILP mathematical formulation for the shortterm scheduling of pipeless batch plants based on a continuous-time representation that relies on the general precedence notion. Besides of the intrinsic characteristics of a pipeless plant, this model considers the moveable vessels as an additional resource that has to be allocated and sequenced. This fact allows proposing a strategy consisting of a sequential treatment of the resources to reduce the complexity of the problem.
