Process Systems Engineering for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: From Product Design to Enterprise-Wide Decisions, Volume 41, covers the following process systems engineering methods and tools for the modernization of the pharmaceutical industry: computer-aided pharmaceutical product design and pharmaceutical production processes design/synthesis; modeling and simulation of the pharmaceutical processing unit operation, integrated flowsheets and applications for design, analysis, risk assessment, sensitivity analysis, optimization, design space identification and control system design; optimal operation, control and monitoring of pharmaceutical production processes; enterprise-wide optimization and supply chain management for pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Currently, pharmaceutical companies are going through a paradigm shift, from traditional manufacturing mode to modernized mode, built on cutting edge technology and computer-aided methods and tools. Such shifts can benefit tremendously from the application of methods and tools of process systems engineering. - Introduces Process System Engineering (PSE) methods and tools for discovering, developing and deploying greener, safer, cost-effective and efficient pharmaceutical production processes - Includes a wide spectrum of case studies where different PSE tools and methods are used to improve various pharmaceutical production processes with distinct final products - Examines the future benefits and challenges for applying PSE methods and tools to pharmaceutical manufacturing

Basic transformations in social environmental concerns, in the structure of management problems, and in the tools to approach these problems have rendered conventional monolithic modelling approaches difficult, costly, and of little relevance to resolving today's emerging problems in forest management. This publication presents proceedings of a workshop addressing hierarchical planning in forest management, involving the use of integrated systems of small models that can be linked with each other. Topics of workshop papers include hierarchical planning in forest resource management and in the forest products industry; tactical level harvest scheduling; policy analysis models; resource allocation mechanism design; applications of hierarchical forest planning; analysis of old-growth designations; incorporating wildlife objectives into forest planning; decision support systems; and data and decision aggregation processes.
