This thesis focuses mainly on the development of efficient formulations for scheduling
in industrial environments. Likewise, decisions over the processes more related
to advanced process control or production planning are included in the scheduling;
in this way, the schedule obtained will be more efficient than it would be if the
additional restrictions were not considered. The formulations have to emphasize
obtaining online implementations, as they are planned to be used in real plants.
The most common scheduling problems handled in the industrial environments
are: the assignment of tasks to units, the distribution of production among parallel
units and the distribution of shared resources among concurrent processes. Most
advances in this work are the result of a collaborative work.Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas y AutomáticaDoctorado en Ingeniería Industria
