The specific characteristics of the dairy industry have been taken into consideration, in terms of the behavior of food sales over time and the special requirements in the production phase. At the scheduling level, an MILP (Mixed Integer Linear Programming) model of the system was developed, using a continuous representation of time. date: 2005 volume: 1 place_of_pub: New York, USA (18-21 July 2005) pagerange: 324-325 event_title: 2nd Multidisciplinary International Conference on Scheduling: Theory and Applications, MISTA event_location: New York, USA event_dates: 18th to 21st July 2005 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE official_url: http://www.mistaconference.org/2005/papers/Optimal%20Production%20Scheduling%20for%20Dairy%20Industries.pdf related_url_url: http://www.mistaconference.org/2005/proceedings.html related_url_type: org citation: Doganis, Philip and Sarimveis, Haralambos and Alexandridis, Alex and Patrinos, Panagiotis Optimal production scheduling for dairy industries.
