In a process control system, having a controller for providing robust control of a process, the controller utilizes a predetermined range control procedure the results being a control solution. The process has at least one manipulated variable and at least one controlled variable. A method of providing dynamic optimization comprises the steps of calculating an optimized set of steady state values of the manipulated variables and the controlled variables. An augmented range control procedure is created to harmonize the set of steady state values with the control solution. The augmented range control procedure is solved, the manipulated variables generated thereby being compatible with the set of steady state values and with the control solution. The process is controlled in accordance with the manipulated variables generated by the augmented range control procedure, thereby providing optimal control of the process.
