Integrated Process Design for the Inter-Company Plant Layout Planning of Dynamic Mass Flow Networks

Inter-company production networks can improve the resource efficiency of production processes. This book shows the results of the research project ?Integrated Process Design for the Inter-Company Plant Layout Planning of Dynamic Mass Flow Networks? (PepOn). A systematic approach for process design for the best utilisation of process streams based on multiple pinch analyses is proposed for a holistic evaluation of process alternatives and for determining saving potentials for production networks.
