Abstract: | The authors developed a computational framework for delivering practical production-planning-optimization tools on BASF Intranet. The framework enables users with Web browsers to access complex optimization tools to interactively compute optimal production plans on any computer platform. The authors formulated a mixed-integer linear programming production-planning-optimization model for one of BASF's chemical manufacturing plants and built a generic infrastructure for integrating optimization engines and the Internet using server-side Java programming. The framework has changed the way BASF implements and deploys mathematical modeling tools. |
