Abstract	Authors investigated the short-term scheduling problem of crude oil operations to realize a given refining schedule. They formulated the problem as an integer programming model by using discrete-time representation. Because of the difficulty of solving it in an exact way, they transformed it into a dynamic charging tank assignment problem in which heuristics are applicable. They then designed a heuristic approach to solve the problem. They use an industrial case study to demonstrate the application of the method.
