| Abstract: | The need to understand the revolutionary capabilities of new technologies before implementation at both managerial and operational levels has been emphasized extensively. The authors develop a technique for operational decision making at a starch refinery. The dynamic set of input control decisions required at process stages is computed based on overall production objectives. This technique, implemented as an interactive decision support system for on-line process control, has already contributed to significantly reducing the duration of transients, which, in turn, has directly increased daily refinery production by more than 18%. |
