A simulation model can accurately capture the details of product recipes in a batch process. By incorporating enhanced capabilities for making key assignment decisions in the simulation executive a model can mimic the experiential knowledge and rules employed in operating a process. As the process complexity and problem size increase using the mathematical programming (MP) techniques to generate schedules becomes increasingly difficult. A simulation run typically takes very little computation time and generates a schedule that is verifiable. Moreover, the model can be used to explore a wide range of parametric space to evaluate alternate policies and the impact of process uncertainties. Although there is no guarantee of optimality, the quality of schedules thus generated is very good and can be deployed in operations. In this paper the decision-making capabilities of the BATCHES simulator are presented with its application to a set of scheduling problems reported extensively in the literature. The results show that ‘smart’ simulation can be used effectively for a large set of scheduling problems
