ABSTRACT:
A system, method and computer program are provided for controlling and optimizing the operation of a process having a plurality of independently controlled, manipulated variables and at least one controlled variable dependent on the manipulated variables. The system, method and program input specified constraints for a linear program optimizer to target, calculate a set of objective function coefficients based on the inputted specified constraints, and generate a plurality of combinations of manipulated and controlled variables. The system, method and program also test each generated combination for changed values that cause the linear program optimizer to target different constraints than the inputted specified constraints, and adjust the calculated set of objective function coefficients so that the linear program optimizer targets the specified constraints.
