Needs for Interpreting S88 : Needs for Interpreting S88 Standards serve countless companies in many different industries
Must be written to cover the broadest ground
Nature of standards prevents lengthy examples or interpretation details
S88.01 is not a compliance standard
It makes suggestions or provides examples
It does not list requirements
Reasons to Form SP88 : Reasons to Form SP88 No universal model existed for batch control
Users had a very difficult time communicating their batch processing requirements
Engineers found it very hard to integrate solutions from different vendors
Engineers and users had a difficult time configuring batch control solutions
Spirit of S88 : Spirit of S88 S88 works with all
levels of automation S88 isn’t just a standard for software, equipment, or procedures It’s a way of thinking, a design philosophy Understanding S88 will help you better design your processes and manufacture your products
How Does S88 Help? : How Does S88 Help? 1. Modularity allows for easier global replication and better return on investment
2. Isolates equipment from recipes
3. Design concepts make validation easier
4. S88-aware solutions help track product and process data
5. Gathering requirements from customers and conveying requirements to vendors is easier
6. Provides guidelines on how to recover from abnormal events
Improved Batch Process Metrics : Improved Batch Process Metrics Reduced batch cycle time
Increased production rate
Faster changeover time
More scheduled recipes
Reduced downtime
Faster process development time
Faster new product launches Reduced raw material loss
Improved batch consistency
Better equipment utilization
Less time to add or modify recipes
Lower engineering cost
Lower data capture cost
Better data availability Throughput Cost
Successful Batch Control Defines These Elements : Successful Batch Control Defines These Elements Instructions on how to make a product (recipes)
The physical tools needed to make a product (equipment entities)
Methods to link recipes to equipment entities (control activities)
A Recipe : A Recipe Make
Toothpaste Unit
Procedures Operations Phases Procedure Make Paste Prepare
Tank Add Water Make Gel Swirl Add
Ingredients React Add Fillers Add NaF Phases are the workhorses.
Other levels simply group,
organize, and direct phases.

Interpretation of a Unit : Interpretation of a Unit Batching cannot occur without units; batching occurs in units
A unit runs a recipe to
Combine ingredients
Perform a reaction
Add value to your product or interim product
Don’t narrow your definition of a unit to just a vessel
In-line mixer
Pasteurizer Control
Module Equipment
Module Unit Process

What is a Unit? : What is a Unit? Mix making batch tank A Unit Not a Unit Reactor Pump Ingredient storage tank Washing machine Kitchen blender Refrigerator Dishwasher Pasteurizer 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
What is the Scope of a Unit? : What is the Scope of a Unit? Applying the S88 concept is much easier when equipment dedicated to a single unit is considered part of the unit
If a dedicated unit resource is not permanently associated with the unit, a lot of unneeded overhead is involved to use it M FT TT PT FT Pump
Equipment and Control Modules : Equipment and Control Modules Equipment modules group devices for performing one or more specific processing activities
Control modules “connect” software to the process through actuators and sensors with all elements treated as a single entity
Equipment modules run portions of a recipe; control modules do not Control
Module Equipment
Module Unit Process
Cell
Physical Model is Collapsible : Physical Model is Collapsible A control module does not have to be part of an equipment module to be part of a unit
A unit can “own” control modules directly
A process cell must contain at least one unit Process

Challenges The Future Interpreting

Challenges
Packaged Systems : Packaged Systems In bulk chemical operations, equipment entities (tanks, valves, pumps, etc.) are combined and integrated with control systems
S88 works well when end-user assembles stainless steel and integrates to form a working system
The application of S88 has been much more focused on these type of operations
Packaged Systems : Packaged Systems Fill/finish-type operations found in the consumer products industries can benefit greatly from S88
Equipment from these operations are typically purchased from various OEMs
Integration into a common S88 framework is difficult
What Do We Do? : What Do We Do? Spec out equipment phases and have integrator or “system OEM” link equipment entities via recipes?
A two-tier S88-aware architecture
How about using S88.02 functions?
S88 software links recipes to equipment control at a level other than phase
S88 solution providers educate, assist, and influence OEMs to follow an S88 methodology
Contract Manufacturing : Contract Manufacturing Interpretation of supply chain is changing
Contract manufacturing organizations (CMO) are growing and evolving
Used in food industry for years
Concept fairly new in pharmaceuticals
Product “owners” may evolve into R&D and marketing organizations
Manufacturing will evolve to third-parties
Sales already partly transforming to third-parties
Contract Manufacturing : Contract Manufacturing Product “owners” will deal with general and site recipes
Product manufacturers will deal with master and control recipes
Properly transforming a general recipe into a master recipe will become even more critical

S88 Beyond Manufacturing : S88 Beyond Manufacturing Theme park rides/attractions/shows
Instead of making a product according to some recipe, people are being entertained according to some sequence
Anyone visited Alien Encounter at Disney’s Magic Kingdom?
Power generation
Thinking of power in batches does not seem to make sense, but state-based procedural control could be an asset to a power plant
Moving baggage at an airport
Final Thoughts : Final Thoughts S88 being a standard with international influence is a big selling point
Make sure your vendors are aware of S88
Don’t underestimate the benefits of making your operator’s lives better
Make the process better
Don’t trash the old system just yet
You may always have to sell S88 - even after projects are complete
An S88 solution is one element in a total system of manufacturing
