#170 manufacturing defined class

[Helen Parkinson]

def:
manufacturing is a process with the intend to produce as an output a device which will have a function for future use. A person or organization (having manufacturer role) executes this process.

has a single child: def: vaccine preparation is a manufacturing process to produce a vaccine
Other processes e.g. library preparation, ould be child classes, but may be done by a manufacturer, or joe biologist. Therefore is the distinction betwee commercial and non commercial processes here useful?

[bjoernpeters]

Good question. this is also important because 'device' now requires a manufacturer.
Can Joe Biologist be a manufacturer? Needs to be discussed.

[Helen Parkinson]

vaccine prep no longer a child of this after workshop, but still needs attention. device is deprecated.

Discussed on 2016-10-24 OBI call. There is no issue anymore. Now device is associate with function.
