This paper considers the development of strategies for the optimisation of a complex bioprocessing plant. The process optimisation requires the appropriate schedule of batches to be specified to feed a continuous downstream processing plant. Biological variability leads to process variations, as a result modifications to the schedule are required. In this paper a genetic algorithm is used to solve the reactive/predictive scheduling problem. Results demonstrate that the predictive scheduling framework could result in around 10% increase in production and as a result would deliver major financial benefits.
