Confusing compound of disparate texts,
By A Customer
This review is from: Planning, Scheduling, and Control Integration in the Process Industries (Hardcover)
If the process industry really is consulted by stuff like this, then it is a wonder that process automation serves to enhance productivity. This confusing conglomerate of disparate accounts is likely to be understood only by the authors themselves.

Comprehensive Planning and Scheduling Technologies,
By Michael A. Tucker (Sugar Land, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Planning, Scheduling, and Control Integration in the Process Industries (Hardcover)
I was mainly interested in refinery planning and scheduling technologies. I found the book to be a useful and comprehensive discussion of the various technologies in the planning and scheduling areas. In the latter chapters, the book discusses how the various functions may be intergrated. I found the information about the EPLP (Extreme Point) LP modeling to be very useful. Although this is not widely used today, there are a number of useful applications for this technology for global refinery modeling and planninng.
