We are living longer than ever before. We are healthier than ever before. We have more doctors, hospitals, medicines and health products than ever before. But, we have a problem with continuing to make these improvements. It still takes too long to get medicines and medical devices from lab to doctor to the patient, especially as we use more outsourcing and supply chain partners during the entire product development lifecycle. This talk presents the concept and examples of Enterprise Recipe Management, a method for the process industries to manage product definitions across their internal production chain and their extended supply chain. Companies using this approach have significantly reduced time and cost of technology transfers and validation. This talk will provide a foundation to understand how to use the ISA 88 and IEC 61512-3 standards for recipe management and the MESA BatchML standards for information exchanges in implementing Enterprise Recipe Management.
