TL;DR

The concept of model-based predictive control used as a decision-making tool for handling complex integrated production planning problems within a stochastic environment is introduced and a functional overview of the MBPC methodology is provided.

Abstract

This paper introduces and elucidates the concept of model-based predictive control (MBPC) used as a decision-making tool for handling complex integrated production planning problems within a stochastic environment. First, a functional overview of the MBPC methodology is provided, then the framework under which the MBPC approach is used as a decision-making tool is given. Simulation experiments have strongly indicated the flexibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
