MESA White Paper explores work process management.
Press Release Summary:
MESA White Paper No. 36 explains how to implement ISA-95 workflow applications on manufacturing enterprise platform to execute plant tasks through Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) and physical process levels while coordinating them with supply chain tasks. Business benefits of optimizing operations are realized by structuring workflows in ISA-95 models as foundation for manufacturing architecture, thereby enforcing effective data structure, definition, integrity, and governance.

MESA Announces the Publishing of MESA White Paper #36: Work Process Management for Adaptive Manufacturing
Chandler, AZ -- Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) solutions are growing in demand as manufacturers seek to streamline plant operations and align those operations with ever-changing supply chain processes. These manufacturers are discovering that using modern computing technology combined with continuous improvement methods dramatically accelerate time-to-benefit. Optimizing manufacturing operations requires a work process management (WPM) system to define, model and coordinate each plant's workflows and resources across shop floor, MOM and supply chain applications. An operations workflow engine in a WPM system is the key unifying application for aligning business and plant processes for rapid response to normal and abnormal tasks and for optimizing all real-time conditions. Workflow applications drive proper notification and acknowledgement of alerts, alarms and events to trigger alternative and corrective workflows and tasks through integrated real-time transactions.
The white paper explains how to implement ISA-95 workflow applications on a manufacturing enterprise platform to execute plant tasks through the MOM and physical process levels while coordinating them with supply chain tasks. The business benefits of optimizing operations are realized by structuring the workflows in ISA-95 models as the foundation for manufacturing architecture. This enforces effective data structure, definition, integrity and governance across manufacturing applications.
MESA White Paper #36 was produced as part of the MESA/ISA-95 Best Practices Working Group through an international peer review process involving 5 or more subject matter reviewers. This MESA White Paper will also be published in one of two methodology best practices collection, Book 2.0, When Worlds Collide in Manufacturing Operations (Collections published by ISA, 1/1/11).
The white paper is available at:
