Overview
ISO/TR 18828-1:2018 is the Part 1 technical report of the ISO 18828 series covering industrial automation systems and integration. It provides an authoritative overview of standardized procedures for production systems engineering with a focus on a framework for seamless production planning. Part 1 itself does not define detailed processes, data models or KPIs; instead it explains the structure, scope and interrelations of the series (Parts 2–5) and illustrates typical industrial use cases.
Key topics and requirements
- Framework description: Presents the composition and intent of the ISO 18828 series and how individual parts fit together for production planning.
- Reference to ISO 18828-2–5: Summarizes the role of
- ISO 18828-2 - reference planning process (planning disciplines and maturity levels),
- ISO 18828-3 - main information flows,
- ISO 18828-4 - KPI framework for planning processes,
- ISO 18828-5 - manufacturing change processes.
- Planning disciplines and maturity levels: Describes common planning disciplines (manufacturing, assembly, logistics, layout) and lifecycle maturity phases (concept, rough, detailed, optimization).
- Interrelations and information flow: Explains how planning process information, information flows and KPI-derived data interact and feed manufacturing change activities.
- Scope boundaries: Explicitly excludes detailed process descriptions, detailed data flows, specific KPIs, and detailed data models - Part 1 is high-level and contextual.
Practical applications and users
Who benefits:
- Production planners and production systems engineers seeking a standardized conceptual model for planning work and interfaces.
- Systems integrators and software vendors who implement planning, PLM or MES solutions and need a high-level object/process view to align interfaces.
- OEMs and manufacturing engineering teams looking to benchmark planning workflows, or evaluate planning-process performance.
- Standards bodies and consultants using the framework to align cross-disciplinary planning activities.
Representative use cases described include:
- Benchmarking product life-cycle / PLM software functionality against standardized planning processes.
- Evaluating planning process performance in automotive prototyping.
- Managing changes between shop-floor operations and planning systems.
