Executive Summary In a manufacturing world with ever-increasing complexity and challenges, it’s only natural to approach plant operations integration with a goal to implement the least complex solution you can find. Compounding matters further, enterprise applications supporting intelligent business decisions require ubiquitous, constant access and visibility to global manufacturing operations. Several products exist to address these complex challenges – the tricky part is picking a solution that both complies with industry standards and can provide a roadmap for success across your enterprise without threatening to constrain future growth. By the late 1990’s, the manufacturing industry had firmly embraced the need for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, in part to address the challenge of collecting operational performance data. The challenge quickly shifted to implementation, and how to access plant floor operations to better forecast financial performance, raw material levels and other asset planning schedules. Manufacturers turned to the Instrumentation, Systems and Automation Society (ISA) to address the complex systems integration obstacle. In 2005, ISA published a set of standards known as ANSI/ISA-95.00.03-2005, hereinafter referred to as ISA-95, which describes a framework for connecting plant floor operations to enterprise applications. The goal of these standards was to reduce the risk, cost and errors associated with integrating enterprise systems with manufacturing operations. Some see the ISA-95 standard as a panacea; however, ISA-95 does not provide instant success. It is a firm foundation for plant-level system requirements and operations-toenterprise integration. It provides a common, industry-standard model of functions, information flow and transactions to allow IT and various line-of-business departments to structure projects with a common understanding. Manufacturing operations software providers such as Apriso, as well as ERP providers such as SAP, understand that value, and support, endorse and comply with the ISA-95 standard in their products. In reality, “ISA-95 compliance” is only a starting point. Manufacturers must make key integration decisions beyond the scope of the standard, such as where business logic should reside, how master data management should be addressed as well as what department is responsible for managing which system, be it corporate IT, plant IT or a local business process manager. This paper presents an overview of the ISA-95 standard, and how it is intended to simplify plant to enterprise integration. While the standard is a nice start, it is not enough to accomplish true plant to enterprise integration. Concepts missing from the standard will be presented, which when coupled with ISA-95, can present a strong foundation for global, enterprise-wide integration across plant floor operations to corporate planning applications. 3 Plant to Enterprise Integration: ISA-95 is a Nice Start What is the ISA? Founded in 1945, ISA is a global nonprofit organization focused on setting standards for manufacturing automation. With 30,000 members, their objective is to solve difficult technical problems, while enhancing member leadership and personal career capabilities. Learn more at www.isa.org.
