Multiperiod planning and scheduling of multiproduct batch plants under demand uncertainty

摘要

In this paper the multiperiod planning and scheduling of multiproduct plants under demand uncertainty is addressed. The proposed stochastic model, allowing for uncertain product demand correlations, is an extension of the deterministic model introduced by Birewar and Grossmann (ind. Eng. Chem Res. 1990, 29, 570). The stochastic model involves the maximization of the expected profit subject to the satisfaction of single or multiple product demands with prespecified probability levels (chance-constraints).
