Abstract

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the concept of workflow management in chemical process development, in which the numerous tasks that need to be performed in process development are identified and broken down into generic activities. The activities are organized in a workflow architecture that supports iterative, modular, and concurrent development. Appropriate tools are selected and templates for expressing and documenting information are proposed, to enhance communication among stakeholders and expedite future development projects. An example focusing on reaction and crystallization steps are also presented in the chapter to illustrate this framework. This chapter proposes a framework for devising and managing workflows for chemical process development, which is applicable for pharmaceutical and fine chemical processes as well as for commodity chemicals. Clearly, the most suitable workflow for executing a project depends on many factors, including the nature of the project itself, as well as the company situation.
