Batch process scheduling and optimisation is a critical area of research that addresses the timing, sequencing, and allocation of production tasks in industries where manufacturing is carried out in ...

One piece flow processes are a type of optimization method that possess some significant advantages over batch processing, especially with respect to waste reduction, time reduction and increased ...

Although continuous flow chemistry—wherein molecules are made in a continuous process rather than in batches—has gained ground in academic labs, its adoption by industry and contract manufacturing ...

People have recognized the promise of continuous manufacturing processes ever since Henry Ford’s auto assembly line kicked into action. Even so, pharmaceuticals are still made in batches. Proponents ...

Batch processing, or batch production, is a scaled-down version of assembly line production. Products are produced in groups instead of in continuous streams as they are on assembly lines. However, ...

Process chemists are responsible for identifying a chemical process that is safe, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly. How do they do it on a day-to-day basis? Join ACS Institute Educator Joe ...

Technological innovations throughout the past several decades have transformed the pharmaceutical manufacturing process from traditional batch production to ...
