    The document discusses Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), which uses computers to control all aspects of a manufacturing system, including production, quality control, maintenance, inventory, and more. CIM aims to reduce production time and costs through goals like zero setup times and defects. The document recommends a modular approach to CIM installation for smaller companies, and identifies key components of a CIM system like CAD/CAM, robotics, and automated vehicles.

    COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING (CIM)


    A Manufacturing System that uses computer as the center of control of the entire factory, which not only involves the computerization of fabrication and assembly processes but also handles information flow for production control, quality, maintenance, material handling and inventory control in a totally integrated system is known as Computer Integrated Manufacturing or CIM.

    COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING (CIM)


    Other definitions: 1. CIM includes off-line procedures for using the computer to assist people to better understand and control a factory. 2. The on-line computer control and linking together of all functions in a manufacturing system is called CIM.

    Goals of CIM

    To reduce production lead time (reduced design time using CAD, CAM etc.) To create balance production lines ( eliminating queues) To achieve zero setup time. To maintain reliability with zero downtime. To increase product repeatability with zero defects. Minimum data handling resulting in zero data errors. Development of distributed intelligence that enables zero-manned operations.

    Modular Approach of CIM Installation


    CIM is large. Expensive. For small companies its installation disturbs existing operations. That is why modular installation approach is more appropriate. Reduces risks. Lower initial investments. During implementation productivity gain can be utilized for next module installation.
    Note: key to the advancement is MANAGEMENT, not Computer not Technology.

    Advancements by CIM

    Customer orders via modem and placed directly into database. Production schedules automatically. Part specification and process parameters loaded directly into numerical control. Raw materials automatically order from venders via modem. Computer based invoicing and backorder communication with customer. Inspections and Monitoring (machines, production, process parameters). No direct labor. Reduced lead times (CAD/CAM). Reduced in-process inventory (use of buffers). Elevated preventive maintenance (zero downtime). All systems communicate using common language or protocols. Real time status of Production (quality, order, backlog, maintenance) and printed reports also.
