CofC/CoC

Commonly used abbreviations for Certificate of Conformance or Certificate of Compliance used in regulated manufacturing.

Shadow CUI

Shadow CUI refers to controlled unclassified information that exists outside recognized, monitored, or formally managed data stores and processes.

NIST SP 800-171A

NIST SP 800-171A is the NIST publication that provides assessment procedures for evaluating conformity to NIST SP 800-171 controls.

DFARS 252.204-7025

A DFARS contract clause addressing use of the DoD cyber incident reporting network and related information handling.

CUI Enclave

A protected IT/OT computing environment designed to store, process, and transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

DFARS 252.204-7021

A DFARS contract clause requiring DoD contractors to comply with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program.

5 Whys

5 Whys is a root cause analysis technique that repeatedly asks "why" to trace a problem back to its underlying cause.

Risk Scoring

A structured method for assigning numeric or categorical values to risks to compare, prioritize, and track them over time.

Model Explainability

The degree to which a human can understand how an algorithmic or AI model produces its outputs from given inputs.

AI

AI (artificial intelligence) refers to computer systems that perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence, such as pattern recognition, prediction, and decision support in manufacturing operations.

business rules

Formalized statements that define or constrain how a business process, system, or workflow should operate and make decisions.

brownfield environment

An existing, already-operational manufacturing or industrial site where new systems must integrate with legacy equipment and processes.

role-based approval

A control pattern where approvals are granted based on a user’s role rather than individual identity, supporting traceable, rule-driven decisions.

feature engineering

The process of creating, selecting, and transforming input variables so data can be used effectively by machine learning models.

model drift

Model drift is the degradation of an AI or statistical model’s performance over time as data or process conditions change.

human-in-the-loop

A design approach where human operators remain responsible for reviewing, approving, or overriding automated system outputs, including AI.

SHAP

SHAP is a model-agnostic method that explains AI model outputs by attributing each feature’s contribution using Shapley values.

defect

A nonconformance in a product, material, or process output that does not meet defined specifications or requirements.

Advanced Analytics

Advanced analytics commonly refers to data analysis techniques such as predictive, prescriptive, and multivariate methods used to derive deeper insights and support complex decision-making.

5G Technology

The fifth generation of mobile network technology.

Edge Computing

Computing that is done at or near the source of data generation.

Data Visualization

The graphical representation of information and data.

Virtual Reality

A simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world.

Augmented Reality

An interactive experience that combines real and virtual elements.

Blockchain

Supply Chain Management

The management of the flow of goods and services.

Automation

The use of technology to perform tasks without human intervention.

Digital Transformation

The integration of digital technology into all areas of business.

Cybersecurity

Protection of computer systems from theft or damage.

Big Data

Machine Learning

Machine learning is a field of computing where algorithms learn patterns from data and make predictions or decisions without explicit programming.

Data Analytics

The process of analyzing data to extract insights.

Cloud Computing

Using remote servers for data storage and processing.
