| Abstract: | A heuristic for operational production planning in the chemical industries is developed. The processing environment is characterized by a single bottleneck machine, fixed batch sizes, sequence-dependent setup times, as well as production and storage capacity constraints. The algorithm aims at pre-producing future production requirements in order to reduce the total relevant costs, consisting of inventory holding costs and opportunity costs due to setups between production runs. The procedure takes care of lot-sizing and determines good production sequences per period according to an approximate travelling salesman algorithm. mentioned. |
