Organic pigment families colorants

Within a plant, equipment is often organized in production lines. Variants of the product family produced by a plant are clustered and assigned to different lines to reduce the complexity of changeovers (e.g., pigments production lines for different color shades within a family of chemically similar pigments). The organization of equipment below the level of production lines is not relevant in the context of production network design (Packowski (1996, pp. 129-131) provides more details on the subject).
