Abstract
Constraints are received on initial components and intermediate components. Information is received on the products to be produced including a quantity of each of the products to be produced and a specification that specifies how the intermediate components are to be combined to form each of the products. An optimization is performed that includes the continuous conversion of initial components into the intermediate components as well as subsequent production of the products, subject to the constraints on each of the initial components, the constraints on each of the intermediate components, and the quantity of each of the products to be produced.
