Optimization Problems in Pulp and Paper Industries

Pulp and paper industry plays an important role in Indian as well world economy. These are large scale process industries working round the clock. The focus of the present paper is on optimization problems encountered in pulp and paper industries. Different areas where optimization has been applied are identified and methods available for dealing with such problems are discussed.
