Abstract

A method for automatic generation of operating procedures for a batch production process plant is presented. Knowledge about plant structure and material conversion procedures are represented by plant-structure graph and material-procedures graph respectively. By using these two graphs interactively, a recursive search algorithm is developed to obtain detailed operating procedures for the production of specified materials. The methodology is successfully illustrated by a case study.
