ISA-95

Implementing business to MES integration using the ANSI/ISA-95 standards

Many manufacturing firms have made significant investments in flexible shop-floor execution systems and in sophisticated enterprise planning (ERP) systems. Those investments, however, cannot yield their full potential until each has access to the information and capabilities of the other. The ANSI/ISA95 standard addresses that coordination problem by providing a sound, robust definition of business activities and the information that must flow between those two realms. This course also teaches the terminology used in Information Technology (IT) departments, so that manufacturing and IT personnel can effectively work together on integration projects.

This course defines an approach to integrating manufacturing systems with other business logistics systems using the models and functions defined in the ANSI/ISA95 standard. The course describes in detail the information that must be shared between enterprise (ERP) and shop floor systems. Enterprise/Control integration is the integration of the business and administrative processes managing the order and product with the manufacturing plant responsible for real-time process execution. Business systems focus on optimizing business processes and operational decision-making while manufacturing control systems focus on the control and optimization of real-time production processes and resources.

You will be able to:

Specify the requirements for an enterprise/control integration solution;
Understand the issues involved in the integration of logistics to manufacturing control;
