Control of Batch Processes

Abstract Measures taken to control batch operations are reviewed and classified according to the amount of information available and the manner in which additional information is acquired and utilized. The appropriateness of particular control strategies for a batch operation will depend upon the wider system within which that operation has to be integrated. This system will generally include other batch operations which must be coordinated to produce the same product and may also encompass the production of other products. The role of these wider considerations in setting the agenda for the control objectives of individual batch operations is discussed.
