1 Scope
This part of ISO 15746 establishes a framework and general functionality of a method for integration of
advanced process control and optimization (APC-O) capabilities for manufacturing systems. The goal is to reduce the cost and risk
associated with developing and implementing integrated APC-O capabilities.
The scope of this part of ISO 15746 is limited to specifying the set of concepts, terms, definitions and the associated
rules for describing the required functional capabilities of APC-O units.
The following are outside the scope of this part of ISO 15746:
-
— definition and specification of an interface or communication protocol between APC-O capabilities;
-
— requirement and restriction of a specific technical specification when developing and implementing APC-O systems;
-
— strategy and method of a certain APC-O system.
