MESA and ISA Call for
White Papers
Hello All,
First, I want to wish
all of you a happy and highly productive New Year.
MESA and ISA are
currently soliciting technical and methodology white papers.
Accepted white papers will appear in the ISA-95 Best Practices
Book 2.0 and will be individually co-branded white papers with
MESA. Authors and reviewers are needed to participate on the
new white paper committees.
If you are
interested, please contact me at charlie.gifford@ge.com
with an abstract and outline by March 1.
All abstracts are
reviewed by the Editorial Advisory Board of the ISA-95/MESA
Best Practices Working Group. Papers should support the
manufacturing application framework 1.0 (MAF) or propose
changes to the updated framework.
MAF 1.0
Class #1: ISA-95 Technical Applications for
Improving B2M Interface Interoperability
Class #2: ISA-95
Transformation Methodology for Improving Operations
Interoperability
Step 1: Train Staff and Benchmark
Technical Applications to Improve B2M Interface
Interoperability (Define)
Step
2: Structured Mfg. Operations Assessment and Schema Migration
Plan (Define, Measure, Analyze)
Step 3: Accelerated MOM Implementation and
Transformation (Analyze, Improve, Control)
Step 4: Life Cycle Management of MOM Application,
Interfaces & Metrics (Analyze,
Improve, Control)
As the Chair of the
ISA-95/MESA Best Practices Working Group, I had the honor of
working with nine white paper committees over the last year
and half to put together the first collection of ISA-95 best
practices white papers. These white paper committees were
comprised of members (authors and reviewers) from 23 companies
and 11 countries.
The ISA-95 Best
Practices Working Group's goal is to create a public forum to
publish current ISA-95 technical and methodology applications
within the evolving framework defined in White Paper #1 on an
annual basis. This provides a vehicle for the ISA-95 based
manufacturing application framework and best practices to
evolve and be documented efficiently and openly. As such, our
goal is to provide public methodologies for manufacturing
operations management. The result also provides a vehicle to
document how the ISA-95 standard needs a correction to
function better as a real world application. The ISA-95 Best
Practices Working Group is supported by both ISA and MESA
International, and is a high priority for each of these
organizations.
The Very Good News:
ISA is publishing our first ISA-95 Best Practices Working
Group yearly collection as an ISA Book through ISA
Publications.
Here is a preview of what will be
included in the ISA-95 Best Practices Book 1.0
1. ISA-95
Best Practices and Business Case Evolve Through Manufacturing
Application
2. An Overview and Comparison of ISA-95 and
OAGIS (Standards for Manufacturing Systems Integration: ISA-95
and OAGIS White Paper Series, White Paper #1)
3. Related
Manufacturing Integration Standards, A Survey (Standards for
Manufacturing Systems Integration: ISA-95 and OAGIS White
Paper Series, White Paper #2)
4. ISA-95 As Is/To Be Study
Method
5. Manufacturing Information Systems - ISA-88/95
Based Functional Definition
6. Workflow Descriptions Using
B2MML
7. ISA-95 Based Operations and KPI Metrics
Assessment and Analysis
8. ISA-95: The (SAP)
Enterprise-Plant Link to Achieve Adaptive Manufactu! ring
9. ISA-95 Based Change Management
The book will be
completed by the end of February 2007 and both organizations
will be selling the book on their websites shortly
thereafter.
Sincerely Yours,
