Dynamic project and workflow management for design processes in chemical engineering

摘要: Abstract Design processes in chemical engineering are hard to support. The design process is highly creative, many alternatives explored, and both unexpected planned feedback occurs frequently. Thus, it inherently difficult manage the workflow processes, i.e., coordinate effort of experts working on tasks such as creation flow diagrams, steady-state dynamic simulations, etc. Conventional project management systems support only a limited extent. In contrast, system AHEAD designed specifically for processes.
