RT info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject T1 Optimal Coordination of Batch Processes with Shared Resources A1 Gómez Palacín, Carlos A1 Prada Moraga, César de K1 Process scheduling K1 Shared resources K1 Tuna-cans sterilization K1 Process optimization K1 Continuous-batch scheduling AB This paper deals with the scheduling of batch processes that share common resources having consumption profiles that change over time and are subjected to some global constraints. In order to approach the problem, the formulation mixes three different time basis. Scheduling is performed in continuous time, but the description of the shared resources and the global constraints uses discrete values. The method is applied to a challenging problem in a tuna canning factory that mixes continuous flows of cans with the batch operation of a set of sterilizers sharing the steam supply line.
