Effective scheduling of a large-scale paint production system

Process integration, modelling and optimisation for energy saving and pollution reduction

“…The cleaning for batch processes, especially, paint production systems have been examined by Adonyi et al [140]. Due to the large variety of options offered to customers, batch production schemes are widely used in paint industry implying that scheduling plays an important role in optimal allocation of plant resources among multiple products.…”

“…Therefore, an effective solver for the original problem is useful for the reformulated problem also. The formerly developed S-graph framework [141] proved to be highly effective in solving multipurpose batch scheduling; it has been specialised by Adonyi et al [140] for solving paint M A N U S C R I P T…”

Methodology – A Review of Intelligent Manufacturing: Scope, Strategy and Simulation

“…Scheduling plays an important role in optimal allocation of plant resources. [40] used a non-dominant sorting genetic and local search algorithm to search for the minimal makespan, and minimal cleaning cost, and optimal solutions for composed objectives in paint industry batch production.…”

Economic use of renewable resources, LCA, cleaner batch processes and minimising emissions and wastewater

“…The title is ''Effective scheduling of a large-scale paint production system'' [11]. Due to the variety of options offered to customers, batch production schemes are the norm in the paint industry, which implies that scheduling plays an important role in optimal allocation of plant resources among multiple products.…”
