Word/Abbreviation	Definition/Explanation
MESpedia	MESpedia is a custom glossery of terms for ISA-95.
21CFR Part 11	A rule created by the FDA to facilitate introduction of electronic technology in the process of FDA submissions as well as in manufacturing and production. Part ‘Ii was created to provide common sense guidelines on bow to implement electronic equivalents of audit trail and signature processes previously performed on paper.
APS - Advanced Planning & Scheduling	Supporting tool within the production management to plan functions based on the MRP-lI method. APS delivers work orders to the plant. It refers to a manufacturing management process by which raw materials and production capacity are optimally allocated to meet defined demands.
B2MML - Business to Manufacturing Markup Language	A format, a generic object model based on the XML standard within the ISA-95 defined environment. B2MML is an XML implementation of ANSIIISA-95. It is meant to be a common data format to link ERP and supply chain management systems (SCM) with manufacturing systems such as control systems or MES.
BI - Business Intelligence	Global term used to explain the ability of software to generate user-specific information (via reports, graphs, and charts), eg. the performance of various aspects of the company and its customer relationships to foster intelligent and fast decision-making. BI may also use role-based dashboards and balanced scorecards. The required data come from an integrated Data Warehouse or Data Mart.
BOM - Bill of Material	Bill of Material (BOM) lists materials (components or ingredients) and is the single most important deliverable that an engineering team gives a manufacturing team for the product design. At the simplest conceptual level the BOM is a list of each part needed to create a finished product. In real-world usage, however, the BOM is a complex collection of pieces of information and the relationships between them. The BOM is also a vendor list that specifies materials planning and corresponding expenses.
BPM - Business Process Management	Defines, enables, and manages the exchange of enterprise information thru the semantics of a business process view, which involves employees, customers, partners, applications, and databases.
cGMP - current Good Manufacturing Practice	Guidelines for the quality assurance of production processes and environments in pharmaceuticals, active ingredients and medical devices as well as foods and animal feeds. A cGMP-conformant quality management system guarantees product quality and compliance with legal requirements.
CM - Collaborative Manufacturing	Strategy by which all appropriate individuals and organizations work together.
CPM - Collaborative Production Management	System that, on the basis of integrated software applications, enables resource planning, monitoring of production processes, and re-confirming real-time data to the ERP thru plant data collection (Adaptive Manufacturing).
Data Mart	Specialized version of a DW. Data marts contain a snapshot of operational data to help business people plan strategy based on analyses of past trends and experiences. The key difference is that the creation of a data mart is based on specific, predefined needs for a certain grouping and configuration of selected data. Since data mart configuration emphasizes easy access to relevant information, the star diagram is a fairly popular design choice, as it enables a relational database to emulate the analytical functionality of a multidimensional database.
Data Mining	Integrated process for detecting patterns within a database or data sets thru various methods such as the extraction of potentially useful information.
DCS - Distributed Control System	Distributed Control Systems are an element of a manufacturing system. They are used in industrial and civil engineering applications to monitor and control distributed equipment with remote human intervention. A DCS is generally digital and consists of field instruments. These instruments are analogically or digitally connected to computer buses or electrical buses via multiplexersldemultiplexers. A connection from distributed or central controllers to the HMI or control consoles is being implemented by buses.
Digital Factory	The Digital Factory offers everything around IT required by a digital product, from concept to customer services. Within Siemens the Digital Factory consists of Digital Mockup, Digital Engineering, and Virtual Commissioning. The Digital Factory brings together decision makers of the manufacturing industry across sectors.
Digital Manufacturing	Digital Manufacturing is an integral component of a full broad-based PLM strategy. Many of the PLM investments can only be achieved by a clear and comprehensive digital manufacturing program - therefore, it is critical for the realization of the PLM promises. Digital Manufacturing creates solutions that effectively support collaborative manufacturing process planning among engineering disciplines, such as design and manufacturing - based on best practices and a full digital product definition.

MESpedia is a custom glossery of terms for ISA-95.

A rule created by the FDA to facilitate introduction of electronic technology in the process of FDA submissions as well as in manufacturing and production.

B2MML - Business to Manufacturing Markup Language

A format, a generic object model based on the XML standard within the ISA-95
defined environment. B2MML is an XML implementation of ANSIIISA-95. It is meant to be a common data format to link ERP and supply chain management systems
(SCM) with manufacturing systems such as control systems or MES.

BI - Business Intelligence

Global term used to explain the ability of software to generate user-specific information (via reports, graphs, and charts), eg. the performance of various aspects of the
company and its customer relationships to foster intelligent and fast decision-making. BI may also use role-based dashboards and balanced scorecards. The required data come from an integrated Data Warehouse or Data Mart.
