RESUMO

The problem focused in this thesis is the short term planning and scheduling of multipurpose batch plants. This is an important problem in the process industry and, because of that, intermediate storage limitations are explicitly considered. The main objective is to fulfill specific demands of final products, distributed along the horizon. It is proposed a two level approach: planning and scheduling. Product s demands, raw material availability plan and operation/equipment assignment are the inputs to the planning level. At this level an exploding procedure is performed in order to determine the number of batches of each operation as well as their processing time windows. Constraint propagation techniques are used to analyze the plant loading and the production plan feasibility. The interactive nature of the proposed approach allows the user to change input data in order to define a feasible scenario. At the end of the planning level, a set of operations time windows is released to the scheduling level. Two approaches have been implemented to schedule the operations inside their time windows: a MILP approach based on a uniform time discretization and a simulated annealing approach. The information given by the time windows is intensively used in the MILP formulation, reducing the number of binary variables in the problem. It is also proposed a reduced MILP model exploiting plant loading information. The simulated annealing algorithm implemented also uses the time windows information to eliminate infeasible candidates through a filtering procedure
