Capacity expansion analysis in a chemical plant using linear programming
by Kenneth H. Myers, Reuven R. Levary
International Journal of Materials and Product Technology (IJMPT), Vol. 11, No. 1/2, 1996

Abstract: An analysis of the fuel additive production process of a US mid-western chemical manufacturer is described. Material balance constraints for each potential bottleneck of the manufacturing process are included as part of a linear programming model. Several capacity expansion scenarios are evaluated. The optimal way of modifying and expanding manufacturing capacity to meet forecast demand is determined.
