This paper deals with scheduling problem of the chemical process system where aircraft parts go through a given sequence of tanks filled with chemical solutions. The system has two hoists which move carriers holding the parts between tanks. A mixed integer programming model is developed from which a maximum throughput schedule can be found for the hoist movements. To show the validity of the model, a real world problem is solved and the results are compared with those with an existing approach.
