For any site it is important to have an IT/automation plan to provide a roadmap to a more efficient manufacturing facility for the coming years. It will ensure all key stakeholders on the site have an agreed and common understanding on the plants requirements and goals.
An IT/automation master plan typically:
- States the plants requirements considering corporate and local needs.
- Identifies key IT, manufacturing, laboratory and automation systems.
- Contains a plan on the required infrastructure.
- Identifies a schedule and project phases.
Typically the plan will consider a strategy that will:
- Optimise Return On Investment (ROI).
- Be a design solution that is product and vendor independent.
- Plan and leverage from initial design for multi-site roll-out.
