This course surveys the tools and techniques, which are relevant to support the multiple levels of technical decisions that arise in modern integrated operation of manufacturing facilities in the chemical related process industries. The linkage of these decisions levels and sharing of associated data and knowledge via effective IT methodology is currently termed Smart Manufacturing in the US and Industry 4.0 in Europe. The topics covered in the course include the structure of the operations decision hierarchy, role of online process measurements, elements of sensor network design, information systems to support process operations, plant data reconciliation, detection and diagnosis of process faults, plant wide control, real time process optimization, production planning and scheduling, and supply chain management. Each topic will be addressed by first summarizing the basic role and scope of that component, then discussing the structure of the decision problem, and then will outline some representative tools available to address that decision problem. Each major topic will include a lecture given by an industrial practitioner who will offer a perspective on the state of industrial practice. Permission of instructor required.
