Computer Integrated Manufacturing

• CIM is the integration of the total manufacturing


enterprise through the use of integrated systems
and data communications coupled with new
managerial philosophies that improve
organizational and personal efficiency.
• It is concepts, strategies, roadmap not a system
• It uses a single computer database for all product
information necessary to make decisions.
• Integration of resources and share of information
among all departments through a single database

Meanings of “Integrated”

• Integration means “linked” in CIM:


• CIM is concerned with the integration of:
• Different machine centers through a material handling system
• Computer systems, through networks and suitable interfaces
• Computer system software
• Business processes, activities and tasks
• All company data and information, through databases
• Manufacturing processes and activities, through networks

CIM concept
• CIM is not just:
• Automated hardware and software
• A manufacturing system bought from a vendor
• A manufacturing strategy such as JIT
• CIM concepts has a managerial philosophy that:
• Uses customer satisfaction as the basis for decisions
• Follows total quality principles
• Has a common database with data shared across all the
departments
• Uses automation to integrate enterprise operations
effectively
Why CIM ?
1. To meet competitive pressures:
– Lead times
– Cost reduction
– Inventory

2. To coordinate and organize data:


– Shared databases
– Networks

3. To eliminate paper:
– Reduction in costs by eliminating creating and handling of paperwork
because the information is stored electronically

4. To automate communication within a factory and increase


its speed:
– Real time shop floor control, no delay between the information and the
actual state
– Improved communication with networks
Why CIM ? (cont.)
5. To facilitate simultaneous engineering

• To enhance the competitive edge of companies by


making the transfer of information between
functions almost instantaneous, enabling lead
times to be reduced, paperwork systems to be
eliminated and data to be readily managed across
a company.
CIM Benefits
• Eliminate duplication
• Labor productivity improvement (Administrative,
Technical, Customer Service and Factory floor)
• Equipment productivity improvement
• Lower product cost – higher productivity, less
waste
• Greater market share and increased sales
• Increased product quality and uniformity
• Redistribution of personnel skills and more job
satisfaction
CIM Implementation Challenges

• Having appropriate databases that connect


between product design information and
manufacturing level

• Have data available and being able to share it

• Have the correct data in the right format,


delivering it at the right time to the right place
CIM Implementation Process
• STEP 1: Assessment of the enterprise in the areas:
• Technology: current level of technology present in manufacturing.
• Human Resources: Current state of employee readiness for CIM. Need for technical
and organizational training.
• Systems: The reason why the production systems function as they do

• STEP 2: Simplification – elimination of waste


• Elimination of cost added operations before automating

• STEP 3: Implementation with performance measures


• Product cycle time
• Inventory levels
• Setup times
• Manufacturing efficiency
• Quality and rework
• Employee productivity
• Employee continuous improvement suggestions
CIM Implementation
Successful implementation of CIM will result from:
• An analysis of the complete business operation in
a top-down manner,
• Development of a strategic plan which defines the
computer integrated factory of the future
• Economic justification of each subsystem and a
phased implementation plan
• Implementation and integration of the systems
following the strategic plan
EVOLUTION: MANUFACTURING
INFORMATION SYSTEMS TO CIM
The Four Major Influences:
1. The availability of digital models of a product
or process to drive manufacturing

2. Database management technology

3. Network technology

4. Computer technology
Databases for CIM
• A database is a large volume of stored data
with its description. It provides a configurable
framework for holding data in an organized
and structured manner.
• Common types of data model:
• Relational databases: Developed to overcome the
difficulty of introducing subsequent queries. In
previous data models, a program needs to be written.
• Object oriented databases: Define objects that have
attributes shared

Manufacturing Database
• MIS means a computer based information processing system which
supports the decision making functions to control and operate a
plant
• MIS must have a hierarchical structure from strategic level to daily
transactions.
• Two groups of data to be processed in manufacturing:
1. Structural information about the product, Bill of materials
2. Information about process planning capability and manufacturing operations,
CAPP
3. Information about the manufacturing machines available
• Second group of data is for order processing
1. Planning and processing an order
2. Machine selection and process sequencing
3. Scheduling of shop orders
4. Material scheduling
5. Payroll and other calculations

• “Information is the manager’s main tool. Indeed, the
