Abstract:

Production volume in the specialized agricultural chemical industry is typically too small to justify the capital expenditure required for continuous processsing. As such, there is a trend towards building chemical processing plants for this market segment that are batch plants. Scheduling of this type of chemical plant under just-in-time operations, where both earliness and lateness penalties are included, is crucial to the efficient operation of these plants. In this paper, a heuristic scheduling procedure is developed for the problem of minimizing the total weighted earliness and tardiness costs as well as the total set-up cost for the single-stage batch chemical manufacturing environment.
