Abstract

Decision-making in the process industry occurs at various levels, from process control to supply chain management. Traditionally these decisions have been taken in silos. Integrated decision-making results in problems of larger scales that are more difficult to solve. However it also leads to better decisions that improve the performance of the enterprises. There is a growing need for more advanced decision-making tools that make holistic decisions by considering the different levels together. We provide an overview of our work in this area in the recent years and highlight the advantages and challenges associated with the proposed approaches.
