Definition

object aggregate that is a physical, geographical, or logical grouping of one or more work centers or work units within a physical site

Explanatory Notes

The boundaries (scope) of the site is typically determined by business/organizational criteria and not technical criteria Within the manufacturing domain, area typically serves as a way to organize manufacturing operations (ISA95 operation) within a site

Examples

  • dock area of an oil terminal; fuselage assembly area of an aircraft factory; ground testing area of a facility that performs maintenance, repair, and overhaul services on an aircraft line; liquid effluent treatment plant that is part of an antibiotic manufacturing facility; utilities area of an oral liquids manufacturing plant

Adapted From

  • ISA95 and ISA88 Part 1

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

This term is expected to remain primitive as the exact grouping criteria are ogranization specific

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

PhysicalArea(x) → ObjectAggregate(x) ∧ ∀y(hasMemberPartAtSomeTime(x,y) → (WorkCenter(y) ∨ WorkUnit(y))) ∧ ∃z(PhysicalSite(z) ∧ memberPartOfAtAllTimes(x,z))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a ‘physical area’, then x is an ‘object aggregate’, every entity that x ‘has member part at some time’ is a ‘work center’ or ‘work unit’, and x is ‘member part of at all times’ some ‘physical site’
