Increasing efficiency in chemical process R&D

Over the last ten years, new technologies and automation have revolutionised the way in which chemical process research and development can be done. But just how readily has this been implemented on the shop floor - and has it led to genuine efficiency improvements?

How do we balance quality and quantity in an R&D environment? How do we decide when (or whether) to invest in new route process research? This presentation aims to explore a range of perspectives regarding efficiency in process R&D, including deciding what to measure, and debating key performance indicators.
