Good chemical manufacturing process criteria

Multi-Criteria Decision Support for Manufacturing Process Chains

During the manufacturing planning, multiple variants of process chains for the manufacturing of a product to be developed are generated by engineers. In order to select an optimal variant, multiple decision criteria specifying technical, ecological and economical properties of the process chains as well as multiple assessments of different domain experts have to be taken into account. The contr...

Chemical Manufacturing, Except Pharmaceutical and Medicine Manufacturing

Criteria for a good death.

This brief paper advances the concept of a "good death," outlines ten specific criteria for a good death, and proposes a simple golden rule for optimal dying.

Manufacturing process flexibility revisited

Purpose – To provide an update on a paper published in 1987 in IJOPM. Design/methodology/approach – Provides an assessment and update of “An agenda for research on the flexibility of manufacturing processes”. Findings – Gerwin’s seminal work added welcome rigor to a concept, manufacturing flexibility, which had gained prominence during the previous decade. Finds that many of Gerwin’s insights h...

Elastic Manufacturing Process Landscapes

Because of increasing competition and cost pressure, the manufacturing industry is currently undergoing massive changes that are facilitated by the usage of Information Technologies. Two particular aspects are the usage of Business Process Management (BPM) and Cloud technologies concepts in the manufacturing domain. Rapid elasticity is crucial for the enactment of manufacturing processes in the...
