The specifics of production scheduling in process industries
2002 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology, 2002. IEEE ICIT '02., 2003Process manufacturing has some characteristics that makes it different from other types of industry. These specifics are reflected in the design of a process factory management system. This paper stresses some features of process manufacturing that have to be taken into account during the implementation of a production scheduling system.

Planning and Scheduling Models for EMAS Productive Process
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013This paper addresses the problems of EMAS (an engineer material to arresting aircraft on the ground) production operation that the intensity of each product was uneven and cellular concrete was not completely crumple.In order to solve the problem the development of a nonlinear planning model for EMAS production was presented.

Statecharts model and heuristic scheduling of a production process
2011 15th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems, 2011Modern factories often employ elaborate manufacturing information systems involving a computer network and various databases. In practice, it often happens that soon after a plan or schedule has been generated, an unexpected event happens that forces the decision-maker to make changes.

The performance of rolling production schedules in a process industry
IIE Transactions, 1995In this paper we study lot-sizing and changeover decisions in production schedules that are implemented on a rolling-horizon basis. The study is carried out by comparing production schedules for the packaging operations of a pharmaceutical company that produces various products on several capacitated production lines.

Common cycle scheduling in a multistage production process
Engineering Costs and Production Economics, 1990Abstract The conventional approach to the common cycle problem assumes a single production stage and takes into account only the setup costs and the carrying costs of finished inventories. This approach is limited to a single stage production process because the carrying costs of in-process inventories which are inherent in any multistage production ...

Scheduling approach for concurrent product development processes
Computers in Industry, 2001Abstract A heuristic scheduling approach is proposed for the concurrent product development processes, in which some crucial parameters are determined using the genetic algorithm (GA). Scheduling concurrent activities is of great significance to shorten development lead-time and minimize costs, since it can eliminate unnecessary redesign periods and ...

Optimal inter-process steel production scheduling
Computers & Operations Research, 1988Abstract Optimal scheduling of production through the hot strip mill of a steel manufacturing facility is characterized by multiple and conflicting objectives. A production strategy designed to achieve maximum product quality may be expensive and cumbersome in terms of overall throughput while a strategy that achieves high volume production may ...

Interaction of the Decision Maker in the Process of Production Scheduling
Advanced Materials Research, 2014In the paper the role of the decision maker in the process of production scheduling is discussed. A general procedure specifying the activities carried out within the framework of particular steps of scheduling is shown. The scope of the interactions of the decision maker in the scheduling process under conditions of real time system is commented.

Optimal production and scheduling of a process with decaying catalyst
AIChE Journal, 2005AbstractA multiperiod mixed‐integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) optimization model is presented to schedule catalyst changeovers and determine the best operating policy for a chemical process with decaying performance. Two solution strategies are proposed to reduce the effect of nonconvexities and to reduce the solution time: (1) a search strategy ...
