What is BS EN 62264-3 - Manufacturing operations management about?
BS EN 62264 series discusses standards for enterprise-control system integration. BS EN 62264-3 defines activity models of manufacturing operations management that enable enterprise systems to control system integration.
BS EN 62264-3 helps to reduce the risk, cost and errors associated with implementing enterprise systems and manufacturing operations systems in such a way that they interoperate and easily integrate. BS EN 62264-3 used to reduce the effort associated with implementing new product offerings.
The activities defined in BS EN 62264-3 are consistent with the object models definitions given in IEC 62264-1. The modelled activities operate between business planning and logistics functions, defined as the Level 4 functions and the process control functions, defined as the Level 2 functions of IEC 62264-1.
BS EN 62264-3 is limited to a model of the activities associated with manufacturing operations management, Level 3 functions and identification of some of the data exchanged between Level 3 activities.
Who is BS EN 62264-3 - Manufacturing operations management for?
BS EN 62264-3 on manufacturing operations management is useful for:
- Production and operation management systems
- Manufacturing organizations/companies
- The manufacturing industry
Why should you use BS EN 62264-3 - Manufacturing operations management?
Manufacturing operations management is a collection of systems for managing end-to-end manufacturing processes with a view to optimizing efficiency.
BS EN 62264-3 provides you with models and terminology for defining the activities of manufacturing operations management. The models and terminology defined are to emphasize the good practices of manufacturing operations, to be used to improve existing manufacturing operations systems, and to be applied regardless of the degree of automation.
Following BS EN 62264-3, helps you in reducing the time to reach full production levels for new products, also help to enable vendors to supply appropriate tools for manufacturing operations and enable more uniform and consistent identification of manufacturing needs.
BS EN 62264-3 is helpful for you to reduce the cost of automating manufacturing processes, optimize supply chains, and improve efficiency in life-cycle engineering efforts.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 62264-3:2017 supersedes BS EN 62264-3:2007, which is withdrawn. BS EN 62264-3:2017 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 62264-3:2007. These include:
- Criterion for defining activities below Level 4 was moved to Part 1 and therefore was removed from Part 3, Categories of production information was moved to Part 1 and therefore was removed from Part 3
- Manufacturing operations information was moved to Part 1 and therefore was removed from Part 3
- Expanded equipment hierarchy model was moved to Part 1 and therefore was removed from Part 3 and expanded decision hierarchy model was removed from Part 3. The corresponding section was removed from Part 1 and replaced with a reference to ISO 15704
- Applying the decision hierarchy model to manufacturing operations management was removed from Part 3. The corresponding section was removed from Part 1 and replaced with a reference to ISO 15704
- Mapping PSLX ontology to manufacturing operations management was removed from Part 3. The committee felt that this section is more appropriate as a PSLX white paper or TR
