Pipelines are the safest and least expensive mode for transporting energy products over long distances. Refined products pipelines convey multiple oil derivatives from refineries to marketing terminals, usually through the ...

A general multiperiod model to optimize simultaneously production planning and design decisions applied to multiproduct batch plants is proposed. This model includes deterministic seasonal variations of costs, prices, ...

The appropriate integration among production activities is a key factor for the development of the forest industry in the northeast of Argentina. Sawmills are one of the main logs consumers. However, production planning ...

This work presents a multiperiod optimization model for multiproduct batch plants operating during several time periods with different characteristics because of seasonal and market fluctuations. This model simultaneously ...

In this work, the management of a polyurethane foam plant is tackled through a mixed integer linear programming model that simultaneously solves production and inventory planning problems. The production process considers ...

Domains where knowledge representation is too complex to be described analytically and in a deterministic way is very common in the petroleum industry, particularly in the field of exploration and production. In these ...
