“…This would appear to be an important issue for both standard PID control systems and model-based control strategies such as MPC. As Benson [24] has recently noted, "If as a process industry we do not measure our control performance, maybe it is not surprising that it does not improve". Some key issues in control system performance monitoring are:…”

Summary. Th is paper provides a personal perspective on the current status of advanced process control. First, process control strategies are classified according to the extent to which they have been applied in industry. Then important new developments in information technology and plant automation are summarized. Prominent advanced process control methods are critiqued with emphasis placed on key issues and unresolved research problems. Finally, recent developments in an important related field, process monitoring, are reviewed.

“…In comparison,. in the process industry stock holding is typically around 60 days (Benson, 1994) and can be three times that. The once-off and on-going financial benefit of developing methodologies, be they in measurement, control or management information, leading to a reduction in stock holding is very significant.…”

For some years the process industry has not benefited as much as it might have done from the application of control technology. The twin pressures of the economic situation and environmental concerns have focused company attention at all aspects of their operations and, in particular, on cost-effective ways of maximising the return from existing assets. This, together with the emergence of some robust control techniques and the power of modern computing systems, has resulted in some spectacular operational improvements. This is resulting in increased management awareness of the power of control techniques to provide a high return on investment. The background to this change of perception is presented together with the description of an industryproven approach to highlighting profit opportunities and quantifying the benefit of investment in process control improvement before a commitment to expenditure is made. Recent developments and established control techniques that are effective in recovering these predicted benefits are described with reference to other papers in this issue of the transactions.
