Explains and demonstrates techniques for solving large-scale production scheduling and planning problems in the process industries Bridges the gap between theory and practice in planning and scheduling Includes 78 illustrations, additional online material, and case studies highlighting real-world applications at leading firms in the process industry
Back Jacket
This book presents a number of efficient techniques for solving large-scale production scheduling and planning problems in process industries. The main content is supplemented by a wealth of illustrations, while case studies on large-scale industrial applications, ranging from continuous to semicontinuous and batch processes, round out the coverage.
The book examines a variety of complex, real-world problems, and demonstrates solutions that are applicable to scenarios and countries around the world. Specifically, these case studies include:
- the production planning of the bottling stage of a major brewery at the Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma (Heineken Int) in Mexico;- the production scheduling for multi-stage semicontinuous processes at an ice-cream production facility of Unilever in the Netherlands;- the resource-constrained production planning for the yogurt production line at the KRI KRI dairy production facility in Greece; and- the production scheduling for large-scale, multi-stage batch processes at a pharmaceutical batch plant in Germany.
In addition, the book includes industrial-inspired case studies of:
- the simultaneous planning of production and logistics operations considering multi-site facilities for semicontinuous processes; and- the integrated planning of production and utility systems in process industries under uncertainty.
Solving Large-scale Production Scheduling and Planning in the Process Industries offers a valuable reference guide for researchers and decision-makers alike, as it shows readers how to evaluate and improve existing installations, and how to design new ones. It is also well suited as a textbook for advanced courses on production scheduling and planning in industry, as it addresses the optimization of production and logistics operations in real-world process industries.
