* Industrial Biostatistics Network (IBION): Efficient use of raw materials in industry

The main objective is to develop and implement methodology for handling unwanted raw material variation in order to improve end product stability and to reduce waste. Main topics, statistical and chemometric methodology, are strongly related to spectroscopy, food science and cybernetics.

The project is financed by the five industrial partners and by The Research Council of Norway (NFR). Total budget about 5 million €. Period: July 1, 2001 - July 1, 2005.
