Model Predictive Control
It uses a plant model to predict the plant output(s) over a certain prediction
horizon P
From the obtained control moves, only the first one is used and the rest is
discarded.
At the next time instant, both the horizons are shifted by one time step and
the above steps are repeated to obtain a new set of control moves. This is
called the receding horizon strategy.

Model Predictive Control
A proof that a new control scheme (MPC) does really improve the
productivity of the process. Difficult to proof
The biggest problem is, that the plant operator may not understand the
control steps. For them it's more or less a black box. It follows that they will
not longer watch the process attentively, errors may not be detected or
important alarms ignored.
