Hi RMAV,
Out of curiosity, why do you not run the ("CCP") steps in sequence ?. Seems the most logical control procedure.
There are analogous processes elsewhere in which the control of 2 variables "boosts" the reduction (= synergy), but IMEX, as per Trubertq, the activities are usually closely "combined" eg see the short attachment in this post -
Yes, they usually are very "close" step-wise. For my process, it is impossible to run my "CCP steps" in sequence as once I have mixed it I have to fill it, package it, label it, box it, then store it (plus other steps in between).
