Abstract

This article presents a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming model for cost optimization in multi-product multi-line production scheduling. The proposed model applies discrete time windows and includes realistic constraints. The model is validated on a specific case study from a real Uruguayan grain production facility. Results of the evaluation indicate that the proposed model improves over the current ad-hoc heuristic planning, reducing up to 10.4% the overall production costs.
