Popis: ICME will play a major role in reducing the lead time in development of a new product or component. One of the areas where ICME is likely to play a crucial role is process scale-up of mill products. Process scale-up of a mill product from laboratory to production stage is largely done through hit-and-trial and is a non-trivial exercise. It involves plant level trials which are expensive and time consuming. Use of ICME can significantly narrow down the design search space thereby reducing need for experimentation or plant trial, which in turn will lead to bringing down the cost and time of development. However many challenges need to be addressed to realize the full potential of ICME at an industrial scale. Manufacturing any product/ component involves a host of unit operations and the properties of the end product are intrinsically linked with final as well as intermediate processing steps. To link the material-processing-structure-performance matrix, there is a need to enhance models across various unit operations through multi-scale/multi-phase modelling and integration of models at various length scales. This allows for the information flow across various unit operations and thereby ensures horizontal integration of each process to simulate the entire manufacturing chain. This step is crucial in designing set points and quantifying the influence of various unit operations on end product performance. In this paper, we illustrate the vertical-horizontal integration of models through an example
