Contributor Van der Lei, T.E. (mentor) Swinkels, P.L.J. (mentor) Korevaar, G. (mentor) Faculty Technology, Policy and Management Department Industry and Energy Date 2015-03-05 Abstract This report provides an analysis of competitive advantages for a new way of producing and supplying chemicals in a concept called Economy of Chain (EoC). By applying this concept existing supply chain architecture is transformed. Economy of Chain is a modular production concept, with the help of process intensified equipment the reactor sizes are reduced and ideally a whole factory can fit into just one shipping container. Within the Economy of Chain different container factories can be operated in series and build a local production network (LPN). The small size of the factory allow the network to be mobile, the network could be sited at the demand site (customer based) or at the supply site (supplier based).
