As a result, companies are constantly looking for methods to maximize the flexibility and agility of new and existing manufacturing facilities. To aid in the prioritization of potential improvements and assessment of new technologies, they are applying computational methods to evaluate costs/benefits. In this session we seek papers that describe the application of these methods to various industrial problems in these segments of the CPI. We particularly solicit submissions from practitioners who are willing to share their experiences and who can address the outstanding needs of this segment as it relates to computational methods. We also seek submissions that describe applications in the broad areas of: 1. product design - e.g. use of molecular modeling techniques to predict and design product properties; 2. process design - e.g. methods for and case studies in supporting process design for the food industry, characterizing process variability, representing complex recipes, and modeling unit operations; 3. process planning, scheduling and operation - e.g. methods for proactive and reactive scheduling and batch recipe control; 4. process and/or supply chain optimization - e.g. methods, and/or examples of successful process/supply chain optimization using computational tools; and 5. online control and reactive scheduling - e.g. methods to respond to process variability in real time.
