Initial Manufacturing Exchange Specification (IMES): Requirements Analysis forthe Plant Layout Application

摘要

This document describes the results of the requirements analysis phase (the IMESPhase II) for a neutral interfrace specifications to plant design and simulation software. This document defines the context, scope, and information requirements for conveying manufacturing layout information between design and simulation software applications according to the guidelines established for National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) IMES. The outline of this document includes: scope, standards review, definitions and abbreviations, information requirements, and an annotated bibliography. Section 1 defines the scope of the IMES and presents an application activity model that is the basis for the definition of the scope. Section 2 list normative references that constitute provisions of this IMES. Section 3 provides definitions and abbreviations of terms that are used in the discourse of the IMES. Section 4 specifies the information required for the exchange of plant layout information between design and simulation software. The annotated bibliography section identifies key references with a short paragraph summary of each reference.
