Prozessfähigkeit ist das Ergebnis moderner Informationstechnologie. Unter IT wird aber heute überwiegend noch Telekommunikation und Unternehmenssoftware verstanden, die in der Vergangenheit von ERP Anbietern erheblich weiterentwickelt wurden. Dabei liegt der concentration überwiegend auf kommerziellen Anwendungen, Anwendungen für Produktionsplaner und auf der Produktgestaltung bei Industriebetrieben. Mit diesen Anwendungen hat guy in den letzten Jahren versucht, die Geschäftsprozesse zu beschreiben und zu optimieren. Mit der Veränderung der klassischen Fabrik von einer Produktionsstätte zu einem modernen Dienstleistungszentrum ergeben sich Führungsprobleme, auf die viele Unternehmen noch nicht vorbereitet sind: Wirtschaftlichkeit der modernen Wertschöpfung ist keine Eigenschaft der Produkte, sondern des Prozesses. Das führt dazu, dass die entscheidenden Potenziale der Unternehmen weniger in ihrer Produktionsfähigkeit, als in der Prozessfähigkeit liegen Neben einer grundsätzlichen Einführung in das Thema beschreiben ausgewählte Fachbeiträge die Ansprüche eines production Execution structures. Dem Leser wird ein umfassender Überblick über die Leistungsfähigkeit und die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten eines production Execution platforms (MES) vermittelt.

Die modulare Struktur der Verfahrenstechnik, die die Rückführung komplexer Fragestellungen auf vergleichsweise einfache und mathematisch leicht zu erfassende Grundlagen ermöglicht, wird in diesem Fachbuch herausgearbeitet. Die Anwendung dieses "verfahrenstechnischen Baukastens" wird durch die aufeinander folgende Darstellung der Grundlagen für einfache Geometrien und daran anschließend die technische Umsetzung in vergleichsweise komplexe Apparate erläutert. Damit wird zum einen ein Wissensfundament bis in die technische Realisierung gelegt und zum anderen die grundsätzliche Lösungsfindung für die eigenen spezifischen Probleme des beruflichen Alltags trainiert und eine entsprechende Lösungskompetenz aufgebaut. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Büchern im Bereich der Verfahrenstechnik wird hier keine Einteilung nach mechanischer, thermischer und chemischer Verfahrenstechnik vorgenommen, sondern die physikalischen Grundlagen werden allgemein und damit übergreifend erläutert und können dann auf die jeweiligen spezifischen Anwendungen übernommen werden. Daher eignet sich dieses Buch auch hervorragend für diejenigen, die sich in ihrer beruflichen Praxis nicht tagtäglich mit den hier beschriebenen Problemstellungen beschäftigen.
