Integrated Production Planning and Route Scheduling in Pulp Mill Industry

چکیده
In this paper we consider the complete supply chain for a large pulp producer in Sweden. The supply chain is divided up in two parts, the pulp production planning problem and the distribution to customers problem. We focus on the overall problem and the interaction between the partial problems and discuss how to solve these simultaneously in a supply chain logistic support system. We have modeled the partial problems as mixed integer optimization models and use specialized solution methods for each problem. The models become large scaled when we consider a realistic time horizon. We therefore use flexible ways to aggregate time periods to find good solutions within reasonable time

A hybrid VNS approach for the short-term production planning and scheduling: A case study in the pulp and paper industry
Mathematical formulations for production planning are increasing complexity, in order to improve their realism. In short-term planning, the desirable level of detail is particularly high. Exact solvers fail to generate good quality solutions for those complex models on medium and large-sized instances within feasible time. Motivated by a realworld case study in the pulp and paper industry, this...
متن کاملSupply chain optimization in the pulp mill industry--IP models, column generation and novel constraint branches
We study the supply chain problem of a large international pulp producer with five pulp mills located in Scandinavia. The company currently uses manual planning for most of its supply chain, which includes harvesting and transportation of pulp, production scheduling and distribution of products to customers. We have developed two new mixed integer models that determine daily supply chain decisi...
متن کاملA Hybrid Algorithm for the Integrated Production Planning in the Pulp and Paper Industry
Within a capital and energy intensive industry, material closed loops in integrated production processes is the most effective way for pulp and paper (P&P) mill companies to reduce energy and resource consumption and hence, tackle both economical and environmental issues. This integration makes the production planning process much more complex, with more conflicting objectives and constraints a...
متن کاملExact Mixed Integer Programming for Integrated Scheduling and Process Planning in Flexible Environment
This paper presented a mixed integer programming for integrated scheduling and process planning. The presented process plan included some orders with precedence relations similar to Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP), which was categorized as an NP-hard problem. These types of problems are also called advanced planning because of simultaneously determining the appropriate sequence and m...
متن کاملAn improved genetic algorithm for multidimensional optimization of precedence-constrained production planning and scheduling
Integration of production planning and scheduling is a class of problems commonly found in manufacturing industry. This class of problems associated with precedence constraint has been previously modeled and optimized by the authors, in which, it requires a multidimensional optimization at the same time: what to make, how many to make, where to make and the order to make. It is a combinatorial,...
