    • The present application generally pertains to scaling of a production process to produce a chemical, pharmaceutical and/or biotechnological product and/or of a production state of a respective production equipment. Particularly, there is provided a computer-implemented method of scaling a production process to produce a chemical, pharmaceutical and/or biotechnological product, the scaling being from a source scale to a target scale, wherein the production process is defined by a plurality of steps specified by one or more process parameters controlling an execution of the production process, the method comprising: (a) retrieving: parameter evolution information that describes the time evolution of the process parameter(s); a plurality of recipe templates, wherein a recipe comprises the plurality of steps defining the production process, and wherein a recipe template is a recipe in which at least one of the process parameters specifying the plurality of steps is a parameter being variable and having no predetermined value at the outset; (b) receiving: a source setup specification of a source setup to be used for executing the production process at the source scale, the source setup specification comprising the source scale value: a target setup specification of a target setup to be used for executing the production process at the target scale, the target setup specification comprising the target scale value; a source recipe defining the production process at the source scale: at least one acceptability function defining conditions for the values of the process parameter(s) at the source scale and/or at the target scale; (c) simulating the execution of the production process at the source scale using the source setup specification, the source recipe and the parameter evolution information: (d) determining, from the simulation, one or more source trajectories for the process parameters), wherein a trajectory corresponds to a time-based profile of values recordable during the simulated execution of the production process; (e) performing a target determination step comprising: selecting a recipe template pertinent to the production process out of the plurality of recipe templates; providing an input value for the at least one variable parameter in the selected recipe template; simulating the execution of the production process at the target scale using the target setup specification, the selected recipe template, the input value for the at least one variable parameter and the parameter evolution information; determining, from the simulation, one or more target trajectories for the process parameters; comparing the source trajectory(ies) and the target trajectory(ies); computing, based on the comparison and on the at least one acceptability function, an acceptability score for the selected recipe template; computing an optimal value for the at least one variable parameter in the selected recipe template by optimising the acceptability score and/or computing an acceptable range for the at least one variable parameter, wherein values within the acceptable range yield an acceptability score above a specific threshold; (f) if there is at least another pertinent recipe template, repeating the target determination step for at least another pertinent recipe template; (g) selecting at least one of the plurality of recipe templates and corresponding computed value(s) for variable parameters) as target recipe based on the acceptability scores computed for one or more recipe templates.
