# Process Steps Dataset

This Excel workbook defines the standard production operations and normal operating parameters used across the fictional Faroese seafood manufacturing facility.

It contains three worksheets:

* **Process_Step_Master** – 53 reusable production operations covering preparation, cutting, curing, smoking, mixing, coating, freezing, filling, sealing, retorting, packing, inspection, and storage-related steps.
* **Process_Parameters** – 123 static operating parameters describing normal process requirements such as temperature, time, pH, concentration, fill settings, packaging conditions, and other control values.
* **Routing_Process_Map** – 80 mappings connecting every step in the Production Routings dataset to a standardized process-step definition.

The workbook defines expected operating conditions rather than actual production results. Capacity, staffing, yields, quality records, downtime, and historical process measurements are handled separately.

For safety-critical thermal processing such as retorting, the dataset references validated product-specific process schedules rather than defining a single universal time and temperature.

The workbook serves as the structural reference for later datasets involving capacity, quality control, staffing, production planning, yields, cleaning, and operational performance.
