Abstract
Abstract This paper investigates the scheduling problem of single-product production on hybrid batch and continuous production processes where the batch process is composed of several parallel reactors and followed by a continuous production line. There is an intermediate storage tank with limited capacity available between two processes. The parallel reactors may simultaneously supply material into the tank. Based on global-event continuous-time modeling method, the scheduling is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) which can be solved by a conventional solver. Two real hybrid processes with certain demand ranges are examined to illustrate the efficiency and applicability of the presented mathematical model.
