  • Summary

    This chapter provides an overview of scheduling and its role within a manufacturing organization, with special focus on the process industries. Section 1.1 introduces some preliminary concepts, including a definition of scheduling, some simple classes of problems, the role of scheduling in a manufacturing supply chain, and a general problem statement for chemical production scheduling. The different chemical production environments, which play a key role in the definition of the different classes of problems, are introduced in Section 1.2. Section 1.3 presents the different classes of problems, and Section 1.4 outlines the different approaches to scheduling. Finally, an outline of the book is presented in Section 1.5.
