In the present article and the subsequent papers, the author will present an integrated procedure of plant design according to the chronological planning process. Particular attention is paid to the numeric modelling of the industrial process in conjunction with a possible computer simulation. Another focus will be placed on logistic systems as the main cost-saving potential of the decade. The author will attempt to meet the data requirements of fixed employed project engineers as well as freelance/self-employed consultants in industrial engineering.
