[1] There are many types of MOM software, including for production management, performance analysis, quality and compliance, and human machine interface (HMI). Production management software ...
Process analysis is a form of technical writing and expository writing "designed to convey to the reader how a change takes place through a series of stages". [1]While the traditional process analysis and a set of instructions are both organized chronologically, the reader of a process analysis is typically interested in understanding the chronological components of a system that operates ...
