A Design and Scheduling RTN Continuous-time Formulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a general mathematical formulation for the simultaneous design and scheduling of multipurpose plants. The formulation is based on the Resource Task Network process representation, uses a periodic, uniform time grid, continuous-time representation and originates mixed integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs) or mixed integer linear programs (MILPs), depending on the type of tasks and objective function being considered. Its performance is illustrated through the solution of two batch-plant example problems that have been examined in the literature.

Design and Scheduling of Multipurpose Plants Using a Rtn Continuous-time Formulation
This paper considers the problem of designing a plant according to its operational constraints. A uniform time grid, continuous-time formulation is proposed that considers the design and scheduling aspects simultaneously. Under the condition of linear task durations and equipment cost, the Resource Task Network (RTN) based formulation gives rise to Mixed Integer Linear Programs (MILPs) for tota...
متن کاملPeriodic Scheduling of Multiproduct Continuous Plants Using a Multiple Time Grid Continuous- time Formulation
This paper presents a new mixed integer nonlinear model (MINLP) for the periodic scheduling of multistage continuous plants with a single equipment unit per stage, where all units are subject to sequence dependent changeovers. The formulation is based on the resource task network (RTN) process representation, features combined processing and changeover tasks and does not require an iterative pr...
متن کاملSimultaneous Batching and Scheduling of Single Stage Batch Plants
This paper presents a new mixed integer linear program (MILP) for the optimal short-term scheduling of single stage batch plants with sequence dependent changeovers and optimal selection of the number of batches to produce. It is a continuous-time formulation employing multiple time grids that is based on the resource-task network (RTN) process representation. The main novelty is that aggregate...
متن کاملOptimal scheduling of continuous plants with energy constraints
Abstract This work addresses the scheduling of continuous single stage multiproduct plants with parallel units and shared storage tanks. Processing tasks are energy intensive and we consider timedependent electricity pricing and availability together with multiple intermediate due dates, handled as hard constraints. A new discrete-time aggregate formulation is proposed to rapidly plan the produ...
متن کاملNew Formulation and Solution in PCB Assembly Systems with Parallel Batch processors
This paper considers the scheduling problem of parallel batch processing machines with non-identical job size and processing time. In this paper, a new mathematical model with ready time and batch size constraints is presented to formulate the problem mathematically, in which simultaneous reduction of the makespan and earliness-tardiness is the objective function. In recent years, the nature-in...
