Optimization tools for process planning

The increasing competitiveness in the industry necessitates the development of optimization tools for chemical process planning. The problem of selecting processes and capacity expansion policies for a chemical complex can be formulated as a multiperiod, mixed-integer linear program (MILP). This MILP can then be reformulated by exploiting lot sizing substructures. While the reformulation produces a tight linear programming relaxation, it also introduces a large number of variables and constraints.
