Abstract

The specifics of process manufacturing have a great influence on production management. The focus of proc tion control is to maintain stable and cost-effective production within given constraints. The synthesis of produ structures is thus recognized as one of the most important design problems in process-production management proposes a closed-loop control structure with the utilization of production-performance indicators (pPIs) as a poss to this problem. Suggested concept takes into account also economic issues of production. pPIs represent the tr operating objectives, such as the minimization of production costs, to a reduced set of control variables that can th in a feedback control. The idea of production-feedback control using production pPIs as controlled variables was im on a procedural model of a production process for a polymerization plant. Preliminary results demonstrate the u the proposed methodology. At the implementation stage we must be aware that appropriate IT system has to which ensures needed online production data.
