Summary
In this chapter, we discuss models for the scheduling of continuous processes. We use the sets, subsets, and parameters introduced in Chapter 7 to represent a facility. To simplify the presentation, we consider problems with the following assumptions: (1) dedicated storage vessels; (2) no storage in processing units; (3) instantaneous and resource unconstrained material transfers; (4) no unit deterioration; and (5) demand that can be satisfied (no backlogs). We start, in Section 9.1 with some background and a discussion of the main differences between batch and continuous processing. In Section 9.2, we present the basic, STN-based, model; and we close, in Section 9.3, with numerous extensions including modeling for startups and shutdowns, transitions between tasks, and time delays.
