Abstract
This article suggests that process development, consisting of process research and innovation, pilot plant, technology transfer and manufacturing, will play a key role in the evolution of chemical engineering as a profession. By integrating science, engineering and management with a multiscale approach, process development helps break down artificial barriers, leading to performance optimization from an enterprise-wide perspective.
