Preface
Working on operational performance improvement projects in chemical industry gave me the opportunity to experience first hand the challenges this industry is faced with due to changes of the competitive landscape and the shift of demand growth to the developing regions of the world. Addressing these challenges requires not only an operational but also a strategic response. The production (network) strategy is at the heart of the problem for many companies. Decision makers in industry are aware of the need to adapt their production networks but lack adequate methodological support to holistically re-design them. The core objectives of my endeavor into academic research were to develop a comprehensive approach towards specialty chemicals production network design and to demonstrate the insights the use of OR methods can provide in strategic planning problems. Achieving these o
