System Trade-offs
w Transfer lines
n Large volume production/high output rate (~
15,000+ parts/yr)
n Parts are virtually identical; sometimes only one
part
n Changeover difficult/requires shutdown of line
changes
Computer Integrated Manufacturing 22
Transfer Line
w CIMS
n Between high production rates & high flexibility
(mid-volume)
n Fills in gap between transfer lines & low volume

Benefits to Business Elements
w Manufacturing
n Combine low part volumes to get economies of scale
n Single system manager benefits
n Adaptable to several product life cycles
n Simplified new product introduction on existing equipment
w Product Engineering (Design)
n Facilitates design update & refinement
n Encourages design innovation
n Facilitates use of existing designs for new applications
