Batch Management & Control (Including S88)
Batch Management & Control (Including S88)
THE WORKSHOP
This workshop shows you how to: structure the activities of batch control into easy to understand tasks choose, design and manage an automated batch management control system save your business time and money by choosing and designing the correct, and therefore efficient batch process control system The workshop is presented in learning modules. At the end of each module we will examine the way in which the particular feature we have built contributes to the overall scheme. The scheme can be simple or it may be a complete manufacturing scheme integrated to a sales operation. For example we will examine situations such as: businesses where the weekly tally of sales is collected into a shopping list for the factory production campaign how the plant responds quickly to the shopping list how we report back on what was actually produced how we report on batch numbers tracing which batch tanks were used identifying if a tank was contaminated how do we know which products to recall? Historically batch control systems were designed in individual ways to match the basic arrangement of plant equipment. They lacked the ability to convert to new products without having to modify the control systems. These schemes did not lend themselves to recipe based operations or to integration with manufacturing management systems. This workshop, concentrates on getting the building bricks right and arranging the structures into flexible schemes suitable for automated batch management e.g being able to work in response to new recipes that use the same plant equipment in different combinations. The material in this workshop aligns with current practices in the automation of batch processes, including the drive for integration with MES and ERP products from major IT product companies. References and examples will be drawn from DCS/PLC batch control products in the market place.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
This workshop is designed for you to: be able to plan, structure and manage a batch manufacturing project gain a basic knowledge of the S88 standard and be aware of critical design issues in batch control systems have a basic knowledge of current technologies in batch control and how to utilise them in the implementation stages of a project be able to plan for growth into a production management facility with ERP integration potential Your knowledge of batch control system fundamentals, will assist you to avoid the expensive mistake of choosing the incorrect package for your business requirements.
