Abstract

The objective of the proposed formulation is to investigate the cross-functional links between different levels of a process enterprise, and how these links can be exploited in order to benefit a prototypical biorefining enterprise. A biorefining enterprise is characterized as an entity having three major layers in its functional hierarchy-the strategic planning layer, the tactical planning layer, and the production layer. The emphasis of this paper is on the strategic and the tactical planning layers. Each layer is modelled with an optimization model. The corporate layer is formulated as a mixed integer capital budgeting and network design problem while the supply chain layer is formulated as a resource allocation non-linear problem. A biorefining enterprise is used as a case study to highlight the utility of the proposed framework. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
