    Dear Colleagues,

    We have scheduled a number of two-day courses on batch process modeling,
    cost analysis, production scheduling, capacity analysis, cycle time
    reduction, debottlenecking, and waste minimization at various
    Universities around the globe. The courses are intended for scientists
    and engineers in the Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Specialty Chemical, Food,
    Consumer Product, and related industries that are interested in:

    * Modeling and Optimization of Batch and Continuous Processes
    * Cost of Goods Analysis & Project Economic Evaluation
    * Capacity Analysis and Cycle Time Reduction
    * Scheduling and Debottlenecking of Multi-Product Facilities
    * Variability Reduction
    * Pollution Prevention and Control

    The courses include theory on the above subjects and hands-on sessions
    with process simulation and scheduling tools that facilitate the above
    tasks. The courses are taught by experts from industry and academia.

    Instructors at colleges and universities that teach Biochemical
    Engineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Process and Plant Design, Food
    Engineering, and related courses are welcome to attend.
