METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESS DESIGN

摘要

A computerized system for facilitating design of a manufacturing process system having a plurality of process units includes a linear program model, a processor, and a memory accessible by the processor. The linear program model forms a plurality of linear equations describing constraints on the manufacturing process system. The linear equations include as variables price information associated with at least one input product and at least one output product of at least one of the process units. The computerized system also includes a linear program engine stored on the memory and operable to be executed on the processor. The linear program engine is further operable to generate an optimal solution for the system of linear equations.
