Abstract:
The use of optimization techniques in production control is discussed. Two optimization problems in relation to typical process industry complexes are formulated. A modified version of Tamura's algorithm is reviewed. The promising performance of the computerised algorithms is illustrated by numerical results. DISPATCHER, a practical operative decision support system, is described.
