1. A method for controlling a quality of a product of an industrial batch process comprising the steps of:
- a) assigning the product a predetermined criteria with respect to a performance of the product;
b) linking said performance to a feature of at least one structural element of the product; and
c) associating said feature of said at least one structural element with at least one stage in the process which forms said at least one structural element wherein at least two said process stages are controlled by a modular process control;
wherein at least one parameter of said industrial batch process is modified via said modular process control in at least one subsequent stage of said industrial batch process, said subsequent stage occurring during the same run of said industrial batch process, so as to allow said product to achieve said predetermined criteria.

Abstract
A method for controlling at least one characteristic of a product of an industrial batch process. The method comprising the steps of creating a hierarchical knowledge tree describing the process. Following the creation of a knowledge tree a learning process occurs. This leads to the creation of a global model. During the execution of a batch process, the global model is applied to dynamically target subsequent phase parameters based on already executed phases.
