Manual: 8.1. Plant

The plant is that entire entity that is being modeled. It does not necessarily need to be identical with the entirety of a particular organizational or corporate unit. For example, a power plant may decide to model only the turbine. Conversely, a chemical plant may decide to include data from up and down stream into its model thereby enlargening it beyond the corporate unit.

To distinguish one plant from another, we offer four database fields with which to name the plant: Company, division, plant and equipment. An example for these would be XY Corporation, Chemical Division, Sampletown, Turbine.
