Design of Multipurpose Batch Plants with Multiple Production Plans Based on Cyclic Production.

JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING OF JAPAN, 1995
The design challange in multipurpose batch plants is optimizing plant configuration and equipment size under the constraints of multiple production plans, and these decision variables are interactive with each other through scheduling. To optimize these decision variables, the evolutionary design method on the basis of scheduling according to cyclic ...
