Title: Challenges in the cyclic scheduling of batch processes

Abstract:
The long-term scheduling of industrial production systems is a mathematically complex problem with enormous size. As a result, exact approaches are inapplicable in practice. Cyclic scheduling is a simple yet natural idea to overcome this issue. The risk of loosing the globally optimal solution is compensated by a much smaller problem size, and the guarantee of an easy-to-execute repeatable schedule. The seemingly simplified problem harbors, however, some additional issues, that can contribute to the complexity of the problem.
