Process Development:
This area creates the process control, defines routings, use of machinery and redundancies.

Facilities Engineering
Maintenance of the mill, planned downtime, replacements and upgrades are responsibilities of this area. Data extracted in this area is used in other modules like planning and production.
Engineering Release Control:
This area controls program versions, databases and keeps the system up and running, including database control, facility control, software license control and other activities which are convert in maintenance of an investment.
