A New Conceptual Model for the Development of Process Technology in Process Industry: a Point of Departure for the Transformation of the "process Development Process" Into a Formal Work Process?
Year: 2000
Type: article
Abstract: In an exploratory survey to R&D managers in different sectors of European Process Industry, the importance and present use of a formal work process for process development has been studied. A new conceptual three-phase model for the "process development process", including the identification of production needs, process development and transfer of results to production, was also tested. The results show that only 44% of the companies in the study presently use a formal work process for process development, but the need for such a process is considered to be high. Good support was given for the new conceptual model as a starting point for further development of a company-specific "process development process".
