Abstract
A method, system and computer program product to isolate information related to performing a manufacturing process, called a configuration document, from the context in which the information is used. A context/configuration association can be independently established between a process context and a context-free configuration document including instructions for performing a manufacturing process. Because the context/configuration association is independent of both the process context and the context-free configuration document, the context/configuration association can be independently reviewed and approved without affecting other process contexts or configuration documents.
