Features: Understanding the operation of a comprehensive CIM (Computer-Integrated Manufacturing) solution requires knowledge of traditional manufacturing practices, insight into the current state of CIM, and consideration of how current technologies and operational procedures will evolve in the future. Integrating product design technologies with fundamental manufacturing principles, while focusing on supporting the evolving operations and information systems of CIM across the entire enterprise, makes Computer-Integrated Manufacturing technology a unique and critical technology in the manufacturing industry. This textbook is written specifically for technicians and engineers to gain a comprehensive understanding of Computer-Integrated Manufacturing technology. It features the following:
● Describes the different types of manufacturing systems or production strategies adopted by enterprises worldwide and demonstrates how to apply technology to solve practical industrial problems.
● Goes beyond the description of automated machines and software solutions to discuss all the essential factors required for the successful implementation of CIM.
● Discusses the impact of CIM on all critical aspects of a business (product design, workshop technology, and manufacturing production and operational control systems).
● Provides a compelling argument for how achieving CIM can enhance a company's competitiveness in the global market.
This book has been thoroughly updated and expanded on the basis of the previous edition to include newly important information, while also featuring an exciting new addition—a CD-ROM containing a demonstration version of WinMan software. This valuable tool will help readers understand how a modern, data-driven system can assist companies in better managing data and operations.
