Abstract

Industrial energy consumption accounts for approximately one third of the energy consumed by the four major end-uses of energy (i.e., residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation energy use). Manufacturing is thereby responsible for the majority of energy that is consumed in industry. The scarcity of resources, rising energy prices, and an increasing awareness that lowering energy usage is a prerequisite for sustainable production processes has induced researchers to consider energy consumption in the management of production systems. This paper contributes to this emerging stream of research by studying the role of waste heat in production planning and control. More specifically, it investigates the case where industrial waste heat can be converted into electricity, which can then be used to support operating the production stages. This paper introduces the generation and transformation of waste heat into a lot size model and investigates how lot sizing policies change if waste heat is used to operate the system. Special attention is paid to the scheduling of interruptions between production runs and the determination of optimal production rates. The results of the paper indicate that using waste heat resulting from production reduces the overall energy requirements of a production system. The inventory policies developed in this paper support an efficient use of waste heat.
