Treffer: Prediction-Driven Sequential Optimization for Refined Oil Production-Sales-Stock Decision-Making.

This paper proposes a prediction-driven sequential optimization methodology for joint decision-making problems of production-sales-stock in refined oil enterprises. In the proposed prediction-driven sequential optimization methodology, three dynamic nonlinear programming models are first constructed to model the production-sales-stock decision-making problems in refined oil enterprises. Then, the analytical solutions to sequential optimization for production-sales-stock decision-making issues are presented by using the inverse inference method in dynamic programming. Finally, the impact of price and demand prediction of refined oil products on sequential optimization for production-sales-stock decision-making are analyzed using a numerical analysis method. Numerical results demonstrated the significant impact of forecasting results of price and demand of refined oil products on sequential optimization decision-making, indicating that the prediction-driven sequential optimization methodology can be used as an effective tool for joint decision-making of production-sales-stock.
