Abstract

The virgin olive oil elaboration process is a somewhat complex industrial process, with several variables involved and dichotomic production objectives. In this thesis, fuzzy modeling based on expert knowledge is used to construct a model of the process. Then, an optimization approach based on this model is used to construct a decision support system to assist the operator of the plant in the decisions of what production objective choose, which set points of the process variables enable reaching that objective, and how should those set points be modified if the production objective is not met.
