Abstract
A solid theoretical basis related to production planning for different process systems has been established in the literature. However, continuous ow process industries with non-discrete items remain least researched with respect to specific theoretical and optimization issues. The purpose of this work is to locate continuous non-discrete production within the theoretical frameworks and apply planning techniques on a concrete industrial example. Subsequently, two mathematical optimization models are developed and analyzed in conjunction with their practical implications and computational results. The first formulation allows for a better utilization of the production capacity with respect to energy costs, whereas the second one maximizes the production output.
