              THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE
         DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL AND PROCESS ENGINEERING
                      WITH ICI ENGINEERING
                  THIRD INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
                       CONTROL FOR PROFIT
                      29 - 30 NOVEMBER 1989




The annual one day symposia on aspects of Advanced  Process  Con-
trol,  organised in conjunction with ICI Engineering, have in the
past years proved highly successful. This year the third interna-
tional  meeting will continue this tradition when it takes as its
theme

                       CONTROL FOR PROFIT

The market requirements which need to be satisfied by the process
industries  are becoming increasingly complex and uncertain. Cus-
tomer expectations are sophisticated than ever before, thus  pro-
duct diversity is necessarily increasing. Add this to today's en-
vironmental pressures and the need to pay more attention  to  the
consumption  and reutilisation of energy and materials and we can
see that manufacturing processes must become ever more  integrat-
ed,  flexible and faster in their operation. The implications for
the Control Engineering Function in meeting this  challenge  will
be  reflected  in the selection and development of viable control
strategies that will be assessed in terms  of  business  value  -
minimum supervision and maximum profit measurement.

                            Programme
