Short-Term Scheduling of Batch Plants with Parallel Reactors Forming Mobile Work Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address the problem of short-term scheduling of parallel batch reactors followed by continuously operating finishing trains to form work groups which is motivated by a real world problem at the Dow Chemical Company. The proposed MILP formulation is based on the recent planning model of ErdirikDogan and Grossmann (2007), and features additional constraints for handling complex arrangements arising from the workgroups. Several examples are presented to illustrate the proposed model.

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 Bi-level Decomposition Scheme for the Integration of Planning and Scheduling in Parallel Multi-Product Batch Reactors
We address the simultaneous planning and scheduling of parallel multi-product batch reactors, a challenging problem that has been motivated by a real world application at the Dow Chemical Company. We propose a novel continuous time MILP model for the simultaneous planning and scheduling that is based on slot representation. While effective for short-term scheduling, the proposed model becomes c...
متن کاملA slot-based formulation for the short-term scheduling of multi- stage, multi-product batch plants with resource constraints and sequence-dependent changeovers
Abstract In this paper we address the short-term scheduling of multi-product batch plants with parallel identical/nonidentical reactors, a challenging problem that has been motivated by a real world application at the Dow Chemical Company. The main challenges include handling sequence-dependent changeovers with high variance as well as two-stage production with limited, shared intermediate stor...
متن کاملA bi-objective model for a scheduling problem of unrelated parallel batch processing machines with fuzzy parameters by two fuzzy multi-objective meta-heuristics
This paper considers a bi-objective model for a scheduling problem of unrelated parallel batch processing machines to minimize the makespan and maximum tardiness, simultaneously. Each job has a specific size and the data corresponding to its ready time, due date and processing time-dependent machine are uncertain and determined by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Each machine has a specific capacity,...
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...
