Market-oriented scheduling and economic optimization of continuous multi-grade chemical processes
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper an approach for flexible production scheduling for continuous multi-grade chemical processes is proposed. The approach integrates the economics of production and of company–market interaction for single-machine multi-grade continuous processes. The operation of a continuous multi-grade plant is modeled utilizing the detailed inclusion of grade transitions and sales orders and opportunities. The added value of the operation, which is used as the criterion function, is modeled by analyzing the costs and benefits of plant operation. The model results in a mixed integer linear program which is solved to compute suitable short term production and sales decisions. The approach is demonstrated on a gas phase HDPE manufacturing plant. 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Market Adaptive Control Function Optimization in Continuous Cover Forest Management
Economically optimal management of a continuous cover forest is considered here. Initially, there is a large number of trees of different sizes and the forest may contain several species. We want to optimize the harvest decisions over time, using continuous cover forestry, which is denoted by CCF. We maximize our objective function, the expected present value, with consideration of stochastic p...
متن کاملCombined Noncyclic Scheduling and Advanced Control for Continuous Chemical Processes
A novel formulation for combined scheduling and control of multi-product, continuous chemical processes is introduced in which nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) and noncyclic continuous-time scheduling are efficiently combined. A decomposition into nonlinear programming (NLP) dynamic optimization problems and mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problems, without iterative alternatio...

Assembly lines are flow-oriented production systems that are of great importance in the industrial production of standard, high-volume products and even more recently, they have become commonplace in producing low-volume custom products. The main goal of designers of these lines is to increase the efficiency of the system and therefore, the assembly line balancing to achieve an optimal system i...

This paper proposes the exchange market algorithm (EMA) to solve the combined economic and emission dispatch (CEED) problems in thermal power plants. The EMA is a new, robust and efficient algorithm to exploit the global optimum point in optimization problems. Existence of two seeking operators in EMA provides a high ability in exploiting global optimum point. In order to show the capabilities ...
متن کاملA Mathematical Programming Model and Genetic Algorithm for a Multi-Product Single Machine Scheduling Problem with Rework Processes
In this paper, a multi-product single machine scheduling problem with the possibility of producing defected jobs, is considered. We concern rework in the scheduling environment and propose a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model for the problem. Based on the philosophy of just-in-time production, minimization of the sum of earliness and tardiness costs is taken into account as the objective fu...
