'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATING PLANNING, SCHEDULING, AND CONTROL FOR ENTERPRISE OPTIMIZATION'

摘要

A method includes receiving (502) first input data from one or more first process control system components (210-212). The method also includes receiving second input data from one or more second process control system components (202a-202o, 204a-204n, 206a- 206p, 208a-208m). In addition, the method includes performing an iterative process that includes identifying (506) one or more adjustments to at least one target quantity using the first input data, identifying (508) one or more contribution values using the one or more adjustments, and identifying (510) one or more estimated product yields using the one or more contribution values and the second input data. Each target quantity is associated with at least one intermediate or final product to be produced. Each contribution value is based on an intermediate product's contribution to each of multiple final products. Each estimated product yield is associated with an expected quantity of one of the intermediate and final products to be produced.
