Applying S88: Batch Control from a User's Perspective
By Jim Parshall and L.B. Lamb
The release of ISA-88.01-1995 led to revolutionary advances in the way factories design, implement, and integrate flexible, modular processes. This book explains the standard in clear, user-friendly language. Parshall and Lamb discuss their implementation of ISA-88, offering examples and explanations to make it applicable across a wide range of industries. From designing better processes to combining recipes with equipment control to executing validation test plans, this book offers an introduction to ISA-88 as well as expert insights into applying it.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Manufacturing Operations Management: ISA-95 Best Practices Book 1.0
Charlie Gifford, Editor
Do you want to dramatically lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for manufacturing IT architectures and manufacturing, as well as reduce supply chain operational costs? This book provides in-depth coverage on how you can apply ISA-95, Enterprise-Control Integration Standard, to help lower the TCO of manufacturing operations management (MOM) systems and their enterprise and plant interfaces.
MES Guide for Executives: Why and How to Select, Implement, and Maintain a Manufacturing Execution System
By Bianca Scholten
In this easy-to-read guide to manufacturing execution systems (MES), Scholten discusses the selection, implementation, and initial use of an MES as well as the advantages and return on investment considerations. She also discusses the widely adopted ISA-95 standard that addresses MES and how the standard can be implemented to facilitate effective, efficient communication between company systems.
Manufacturing Execution Systems: An Operations Management Approach
By Tom Seubert and Grant Vokey
This practical guide, developed by industry veterans Grant Vokey and Tom Seubert, provides an operations-focused approach to manufacturing execution systems (MES). The authors present a holistic view of manufacturing operations management (MOM), explaining the interactions of the key elements—MES, ERP (enterprise resource planning), and PLM (product life cycle management)—and how MES contributes to a streamlined process that produces quality products.
The Road to Integration: A Guide to Applying the ISA-95 Standards in Manufacturing, Second Edition
By Bianca Scholten and Dennis Brandl
The Road to Integration, Second Edition, explains how to use the principles, terminology, and information methods in the standard to integrate enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, manufacturing execution systems (MES), and manufacturing operations management (MOM) systems. It provides examples and step-by-step plans for integration projects as well as case studies describing the implementation methods used by companies in different industries.
The MOM Chronicles: ISA-95 Best Practices Book 3.0
Charlie Gifford, Editor
Springing from the international success of Books 1.0 and 2.0, this is the third collection of manufacturing operations management (MOM) methodology white papers from the ISA-chartered ISA-95 Best Practices Working Group, chaired by Charlie Gifford. The Book 3.0 collection focuses on MOM system engineering to organize the complex 21st-century manufacturing plant and to optimize its role in a global supply chain.
Real-Time Execution for IEC 61499
By Alois Zoitl
This book discusses real-time execution of the models defined in the IEC 61499 standard with a closer look at predictable, event-triggered real-time systems. Manufacturing industries are experiencing rapidly changing global markets and thus face an increasing demand for flexible adaptable production systems. The text guides the reader in understanding how to design and reconfigure control applications at the real-time control layer of the automation system.
Security PHA Review for Consequence-Based Cybersecurity
By Edward M. Marszal and Jim McGlone
In the process industries, the most widely accepted process for identifying hazards and assessing risk is process hazard analysis (PHA). This book reviews the most common methods and explains how to supplement them with an additional security PHA review (SPR) study to determine if there are any cyberattack vectors that can cause significant physical damage to the facility.
Industrial Data Communications, Fifth Edition
By Lawrence (Larry) M. Thompson and Tim Shaw
This edition will help you understand legacy and advanced communications systems in automation and control environments as well as the advances in communication technology. You will learn about cybersecurity methods and standards—including ANSI/ISA/IEC 62443—and how to implement communications systems safely and securely.
