The ISA-95 standards help to reduce the risk, cost, and errors associated with implementing enterprise systems and manufacturing operations systems in such a way that they inter-operate and easily integrate.
They may also be used to reduce the effort associated with implementing new product offerings.
ISA-SP95 previously published Part 1 of the series, "Models and terminology," and Part 2, "Object models and attributes".
The new Part 3, "Activity models of manufacturing operations management," provides models and terminology for defining the activities of manufacturing operations management.
The models and terminology.

* Can be used to improve existing manufacturing operations systems.
* Can be applied regardless of the degree of automation.
"Completion of Part 3 is an important milestone in the growing adaptation and use of the ISA-95 standards," stated ISA-SP95 Chairman Keith Unger of Stone Technologies.
Additional parts in the ISA-95 series currently in development focus on business-to-manufacturing transactions and object models and attributes of manufacturing operations management.
