Supply chain management in chemical process industry focuses on production planning and scheduling to reduce production cost
and inventories and simultaneously increase the utilization of production capacities and the service level. These objectives
and the specific characteristics of chemical production processes result in complex planning problems. To handle this complexity,
advanced planning systems (APS) are implemented and often enhanced by tailor-made optimization algorithms. In this article,
we focus on a real-world problem of production planning arising from a specialty chemicals plant. Formulations for finished
products comprise several production and refinement processes which result in all types of material flows. Most processes
cannot be operated on only one multi-purpose facility, but on a choice of different facilities. Due to sequence dependencies,
several batches of identical processes are grouped together to form production campaigns. We describe a method for multicriteria
optimization of short- and mid-term production campaign scheduling which is based on a time-continuous MILP formulation. In
a preparatory step, deterministic algorithms calculate the structures of the formulations and solve the bills of material
for each primary demand. The facility selection for each production campaign is done in a first MILP step. Optimized campaign
scheduling is performed in a second step, which again is based on MILP. We show how this method can be successfully adapted
to compute optimized schedules even for problem examples of real-world size, and we furthermore outline implementation issues
including integration with an APS. 相似文献

This paper offers a review of the development and use of multi-agent modelling techniques and simulations in the context of manufacturing systems and supply chain management (SCM). The objective of the paper is twofold. First, it presents a comprehensive literature review of current multi-agent systems (MAS) research applications in the field of manufacturing systems and SCM. Second, it aims to identify and evaluate some key issues involved in using MAS methods to model and simulate manufacturing systems. A variety of different MAS applications are reviewed in three different classified research areas: production design and development, production planning and control, and SCM. In presenting a detailed taxonomy of MAS applications, the paper describes MAS application domains from five different perspectives. The review suggests the MAS approach represents a feasible framework for designing and analysing real-time manufacturing operations, since the approach is capable of modelling different levels of agent behaviour and dynamical interactions. The paper also highlights a number of key issues which have to be taken into account in attempting to design MAS-based research paradigms for future applications in manufacturing systems. 相似文献
