Abstract

Now, in Chap. 6, a general mathematical programming approach is presented for the resource-constrained production problem in semicontinuous processes. This work has been motivated by a challenging problem in food processing industries related to yogurt production lines (KRI-KRI dairy industry, Greece), where labor (i.e., the number of available workers) constitutes the limited resource constraint. The proposed mathematical approach can also cope with unexpected events such as workers absence, and products orders modifications.
