The industrial implementation of costand eco-efficient production of bio-based polymeric materials such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) or polylactic acid (PLA) requires the comprehension of all process steps. The article at hand provides an insight into recent advances in allocation, pretreatment and utilization of raw materials available for biopolymer production in different areas of the wor...

Holonic manufacturing refers to a modular approach to constructing and operating a manufacturing process whereby individual production units have the properties of autonomy and co-operation. This paper examines some key ideas behind holonic manufacturing in the particular context of continuous production processes. The main objectives of the paper are: (1) To review the status of Computer Integ...

In this note we extend the continuous dual Hahn process constructed by Corwin and Knizel on a finite time interval to entire real line taking limit of closely related Markov process. We also characterize processes conditional means variances under bidirectional conditioning.

Process capability maturity modeling elaborated by the Software Engineering community became applicable for any process-oriented activity assessment and improvement. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the solution of learning improvement problem based on process quality attributes modeling approach. Twodimensional Learning process model is developed based on R. Marzano taxonomy of le...

To increase productivity, new automatic production lines are introduced driven by adequate computer hardware and software. While determining production process characteristics for building complex product such as steel vessel, special consideration is given to dimensioning and defining capacity of production equipment and working places. Process characteristics should accomplish building and ou...
