In which table would you make an entry for a BMS map?

  1. RPT

  2. PCT

  3. PPT

  4. LCT


Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand what BMS stands for and where it would be appropriate to make an entry for a BMS map.

BMS stands for Batch Management System, which is a system used to manage and control batch processes. A BMS map is a graphical representation that shows the sequence and dependencies of batch processing steps.

In the context of a Batch Management System, an entry for a BMS map would typically be made in the PPT (Procedure Processing Table). The PPT is a table that contains information about the procedures or steps involved in a batch process.

Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) RPT (Recipe Processing Table) - This option is incorrect because the RPT is a table that contains information about the recipes or formulas used in a batch process, not the steps involved in the process.

Option B) PCT (Process Control Table) - This option is incorrect because the PCT is a table that contains information about the control parameters and setpoints for a batch process, not the steps involved in the process.

Option C) PPT (Procedure Processing Table) - This option is correct because the PPT is a table that contains information about the procedures or steps involved in a batch process. It is where an entry for a BMS map would typically be made.

Option D) LCT (Log Control Table) - This option is incorrect because the LCT is a table that contains information about the logging and reporting requirements for a batch process, not the steps involved in the process.

Therefore, the correct answer is C) PPT. This option is correct because the PPT is where you would make an entry for a BMS map.
