Abstract: Despite their spread, continuous process industries remain least researched vis-a-vis specific issues. This article considers a European plant, manufacturing non-discrete commodity products, formulates and tests a synchronised production and distribution-planning model, minimising energy costs. Moreover, it suggests a post-optimisation analytical approach, emphasising productivity and quality criteria in enterprise development.

Keywords: continuous production; enterprise development; non-discrete products; post-optimisation analysis; process industry; production planning; productivity measurement; quality assurance; commodity products; synchronised production; distribution planning; energy costs; modelling.
