Popis: The constant improvement of efficiency in project development and manufacturing is an essential issue for companies operating in the organic fine chemicals field. Our strategy is based on the following concepts: (i) use of the whole high-technology portfolio available within the company, (ii) organisation of the process development in a process-oriented way, (iii) acceleration of the process transfer from laboratory to manufacturing scale by omitting intermediate piloting stages and (iv) maximisation of productivity by a flexible organisation of production units. How these concepts were implemented and which distribution of competencies within the R&D is needed, will be discussed in more detail in our contribution.
