Whether a novel process or an existing one, a crucial aspect on the commercialization roadmap is being able to manufacture your product at scale.  This presentation will explore the critical engineering and design considerations for a manufacturing facility.  By attending this presentation, you gain insight into the economics of a factory (what it takes to build a food plant) and the basics of working with an engineering team - the engineering/design process, project delivery methods and contract structures, and managing risk.  Woven throughout the presentation will be challenges that companies commonly fail to consider.  You will leave with insights that you can apply on any engineering/design project, as well as key lessons learned to help avoid mistakes and increase your chance of success.
