In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

Discover how early CMC, process optimization, and formulation strategy drive scalable, commercially viable drugs.

Tolerance optimization is a critical facet of modern manufacturing, aiming to balance the precision of component dimensions with economic production targets. By systematically allocating allowable ...

Process plant layout optimisation is a multidisciplinary endeavour that integrates economic efficiency with rigorous safety assessments to ensure robust and reliable industrial operations. This field ...

New integration and patterning schemes used in 3D memory and logic devices have created manufacturing and yield challenges. Industrial focus has shifted from the scaling of predictable unit processes ...

The many stages of a bioprocess offer endless opportunities for optimization. Improving a process starts with process design (PD) and never really ends. In late 2024, Jun Luo, PhD, Genentech’s head of ...

It is often said there are only three benefits for business investment – to reduce costs, increase sales and mitigate risks. However, underpinning all of these are the harder-to-measure (especially at ...

Several programs on the web today were designed to deliver real-time CPU optimization and automation. We have spoken about quite a few of them over the years, but that won’t stop us from looking at ...

Optimization seeks to find the best. It could be to design a process that minimizes capital or maximizes material conversion, to choose operating conditions that maximize throughput or minimize waste, ...

Modern optimization theory, algorithms, and applications in process engineering. Topics include the fundamentals of linear programming, integer programming, nonlinear programming, mixed-integer ...

A key role for any IT leader is to ensure the technology supporting business processes runs as smoothly as possible. Wherever possible, the CIO and a team of enterprise architects and business ...
