Case Study: The Concept for the Process Industry
Up to now in these case studies, you have solved various logistics problems that were mainly in companies with convergent product structure (discrete manufacture) production settings. A glance at the basic process industries in which, for example, oil, natural gas, coal, energy or steel are produced and/or processed makes it clear that production structure has a considerable influence on the production infrastructure and layout. This leads to special circumstances that must be considered in production planning and logistics. Process-oriented production actually brings up new kinds of questions that have no equivalent in discrete manufacturing.
