BATCH ANSI/ISA S88

provides standard models and terminology for defining the control requirements for batch manufacturing plants. The models and terminology defined
- emphasize good practices for the design and operation of batch manufacturing plants
- can be used to improve control of batch manufacturing plants and
- can be applied regardless of the degree of automation

ANSI/ISA Batch S88 provides a standard terminology and a consistent set of concepts and models for batch manufacturing plants and batch control that will improve communications between all parties involved and that will
- reduce the user's time to reach full production levels for new products
- enable vendors to supply appropriate tools for implementing batch control
- enable users to better identify their needs
- make recipe development straightforward enough to be accomplished without the services of a control systems engineer
- reduce the cost of automating batch processes and
- reduce life-cycle engineering efforts.
