| Abstract | Currently, pipeline is the most effective way to transport large-volume products over long distance. To effectively satisfy market demands for multiple refined products by delivery due dates, the multi-product pipeline network usually transports several refined products in sequence from refineries to certain destinations. The integrated scheduling of multi-product pipeline network, including inventory management, transport routes planning, batch sequence, batch volume, et al., is one of the most strategic problems due to its large-scale, complexity as well as economic significance. This subject has been widely studied during the last decade. However, most researches focus on large-size scheduling models whose computational efficiency greatly decreases for a complex pipeline network or a long time horizon. Aiming at this problem, the paper develops an efficient decomposition approach, which is composed of two mixed integer linear programming (MILP) models. The first model divides the entire time horizon into several intervals according to delivery due dates and optimizes the transport routes and total transport volume during each interval with considering market demand, production campaigns and inventory limits. Then the solved results are used by the second model which sets the objective function as the membership function based on fuzzy delivery due dates. Besides, a series of operational constraints are also considered in the second model to obtain the optimal batch sequence, batch volume, delivery volume and delivery time in each node. Finally, the proposed approach is applied to a Chinese real-world pipeline network that includes 5 complex multi-product pipelines associated with 6 refineries and 2 depots. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach can provide a guideline for long-term pipeline network scheduling with delivery due dates. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
