Abstract: A production arrangement for performing a chemical reaction with a standard transport container in accordance with DIN ISO 668 for accommodating a plurality of processing units disposed inside the standard transport container for assisting and/or performing a processing basic operation, and a supply network, disposed inside the standard transport container, for supplying the processing units with material and/or power and/or information. Owing to the supply network disposed inside the standard transport container, the availability of material and/or power and/or information can be ensured over a large area of the standard transport container, such that the same standard transport container with the same supply network can be re-used for different configurations of processing units and, in the event of a modification for performing a different chemical reaction, the processing units can simply be interchanged such that different chemical reactions can be performed with little outlay.
