A MILP Scheduling Model for Multi-stage Batch Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract In the current work, a new precedence-based mixed integer linear programming (MILP) scheduling framework, based on a continuous-time representation, is developed for the scheduling in multi-stage batch plants. Advantages and special features of the proposed scheduling model are highlighted through several instances of two base case studies. Results are analyzed and further criticized towards future work.

A Continuous-Time Formulation for Scheduling Multi- Stage Multi-product Batch Plants with Non-identical Parallel Units
Multi-stage multi-product batch plants with non-identical parallel units are quite common in the batch chemical industry. Scheduling production in these plants optimally is a complex task that has received limited attention in the literature. In this work, we propose a new continuous time-representation using asynchronous slots and report a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation fo...
متن کاملA New Continuous-Time Formulation for the Scheduling of Single Stage Batch Plants with Sequence Dependent Changeovers
This paper presents a new multiple-time grid, continuous-time mixed integer linear program (MILP) model for the short-term scheduling of single stage, multiproduct plants featuring equipment units with sequence dependent changeovers. It considers combined processing and changeover tasks as opposed to handling them separately and is very versatile in terms of type of objective function that can ...
متن کاملImproved Tightened Milp Formulations for Single-stage Batch Scheduling Problems
This work presents a set of improved MILP mathematical formulations for the scheduling of single-stage batch plants with parallel production lines. Minimization of the average weighted earliness and the makespan, i.e. the time needed to complete all processing tasks, are considered as alternative problem goals. For each objective function an enhanced model that incorporates specific tightening ...
متن کاملAn efficient MILP model for the short-term scheduling of single stage batch plants
This paper presents a multiple time grid continuous time MILP model for the short-term scheduling of single stage, multiproduct batch plants where the objective is the minimization of total cost or total earliness. It can handle both release and due dates and it can determine the products delivery dates explicitly if these need to be considered in the objective function. This formulation is com...
متن کاملA New Continuous-time MILP Model for the Short- Term Scheduling of Multi Stage Batch Plants
This paper presents a new multiple time grid continuous time MILP model for the short-term scheduling of multistage, multiproduct plants. It can handle both release and due dates and different objective functions efficiently, such as the minimization of total cost, total earliness or makespan. This formulation is compared to other existing mixed-integer linear programming approaches and to a co...
