Process monitoring - Just Do it.
Measure everything associated with the product sales specification. Measure things necessary to control the process. Measure and contol things that could cause equipment problems.
Review the standard API RS 14C that applies to safety shutdowns in the offshore oil and gas business. It identifies the type shutdown required to avoid releasing hydrocarbon to the enviroment. Even if not applicable, API 14C has examples for pumps, vessels, etc. and good criteria for consideration in other applications.

madhavank007,
I don't know much about your process, but the best advice I can give is:
1. Do not measure anything that you are not using. You will find yourself fixing tranmitters and meters that collect data that does nothing but sit in a spreadsheet somewhere.
2. Do not set your specs outside of your monitoring capabilities. I work with ceramics, and I have seen many specs set to 0.01, but measured with a an instrument that is only accurate to 0.1. That may be a little bit of an exageration, but you see the point. You either have to spend the money to get the right instrument, or relax the spec.
