Abstract
For manufacturers operating batch plants, production scheduling is a critical and challenging problem. A thorough understanding of the problem and the variety of solutions approaches is needed to achieve a successful application. This entry will present a brief overview of batch operations and the state of the art of batch plant scheduling for nonexperts in the field.
