Springing from the international success of Books 1.0 and 2.0,the ISA-chartered ISA-95 Best Practices Working Group, chaired byCharlie Gifford, brings out its third collection of ManufacturingOperations Management (MOM) methodology white papers. The Book 3.0collection focuses on MOM system engineering to organize thecomplex 21st-century manufacturing plant and to optimize its rolein a global supply chain. The methods do not trivialize thecomplexities as simply equipment optimization or material qualityor consumption problems. In the twenty-year evolution ofcomputerized manufacturing solutions, most manufacturers primarilyapplied and still apply point solutions to department issues. Book3.0 explains how to develop an overall operations processdefinition. This definition determines operations dependencies forthe entire plant in the supply network. The operations processdefinition as the MOM Master User Requirement Specification mapsout the “As-Is” inefficient operations and the “To-Be” reengineeredefficient operations.Current leaders and managers of mostmanufacturers have a very limited vision of how their plants mustoperate in the global market in five or ten years to be competitivein 2020–2025. Today’s manufacturing managers generally do not havea concept of the total engineering cost to transform theirpaper-based operations into real-time manufacturing usingartificial intelligence for their work processes.The proven realityof manufacturing operations is that manufacturing innovationrequires an iterative continuous improvement process through MOMsystems engineering. This requires leaders to accept innovationwith managed risk to move manufacturing operations technologiesforward. Operations intelligence is high-risk innovation. Period.But by 2025, those manufacturers who have not adopted paperlessprocesses for intelligent operations will simply not be able tocompete globally and will fail in business. Book 3.0 lays out thefoundation to succeed.
