Fixing the production applications gap between measurements and corporate.
The concept of the business loop is no different than any other feedback control system: the quality of control, in this case, the ability to meet the business goals, depends on the accuracy of the measurements and the frequency with which corrective action can be taken.
This paper examines and models how to "close the business loop". The focus is on applications, integration, presentation, and information as a means of supporting the business to help process manufacturing industries operate at a controlled, optimal level.
