Optimal Planning and Scheduling Strategy for PetroleumSupply Chains in Conversion Refineries

摘要

The scope of this study is concerned with the petroleum supply network in a typical oil company.Various petrochemical products are usually manufactured with a cluster of strategically-located conversionrefineries.[1] A realistic mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model has been formulated to coordinatevarious planning and scheduling tasks for optimizing the supply chain performance. Solving this MILP modelyields the proper procurement scheme for crude oils and the corresponding logistics, the optimal schedules forprocessing products and by-products, and their pricing and promotion programs.
