International Journal of Management and Enterprise Development (IJMED), Vol. 7, No. 1, 2009

Abstract: Despite their spread, continuous process industries remain least researched vis-a-vis specific issues. This article considers a European plant, manufacturing non-discrete commodity products, formulates and tests a synchronised production and distribution-planning model, minimising energy costs. Moreover, it suggests a post-optimisation analytical approach, emphasising productivity and quality criteria in enterprise development.
