Definition of CIM
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 personnel efficiency.
Computer-integrated manufacturing(CIM) is
the
manufacturingapproach
of
usingcomputers to control the entire
productionprocess.

What is CIM?
CIM

is the integration of all enterprise

operations and activities around a common
corporate data repository.
It is the use of integrated systems and data
communications coupled with new
managerial philosophies.
CIM is not a product that can be purchased
and installed.
It is a way of thinking and solving problems.
This integration allows individual processes
to exchange information with each other and
initiate actions.

Potential Benefits of
CIM
Improved

customer service
Improved quality
Shorter time to market with new products
Shorter flow time
Shorter vendor lead time
Reduced inventory levels
Improved schedule performance
Greater flexibility and responsiveness
Improved competitiveness
Lower total cost
Shorter customer lead time
Increase in manufacturing productivity
Decrease in work-in process inventory

Role of Computer in Manufacturing

The computer has had a substantial
impact on almost all activities of a factory.
The operation of a CIM system gives the user
substantial benefits:
Reduction of design costs by 15-30%;
Reduction of the in-shop time of a part by
30-60%;
Increase of productivity by 40-70%;
Better product quality, reduction of scrap 2050%.

Manufacturing Method
As a method of manufacturing, three
components distinguish CIM from other
manufacturing methodologies:
Means for data storage, retrieval,
manipulation and presentation;
Mechanisms for sensing state and modifying
processes;
Algorithms for uniting the data processing
component with the sensor/modification
component.
CIM is an example of the implementation
ofInformation and Communication
Technologies(ICTs) in manufacturing.

CIM & Production Control

System

Key challenges
There are three major challenges for the development of a
smoothly
operating
computer-integrated
manufacturing
system:
Integration

of components from different suppliers: When

different machines, such as CNC, conveyors and robots, are using
different communications protocols. In the case ofAGVs (automated
guided vehicles), even differing lengths of time for charging the
batteries may cause problems.

Data

integrity: The higher the degree of automation, the more

critical is the integrity of the data used to control the machines. While
the CIM system saves on labor of operating the machines, it requires
extra human labor in ensuring that there are proper safeguards for the
data signals that are used to control the machines.

Process

control: Computers may be used toassistthe human

operators of the manufacturing facility, but there must always be a
competent engineer on hand to handle circumstances which could not
be foreseen by the designers of the control software.

Subsystems in
computer-integrated
manufacturing
CAD

(Computer-Aided Design) involves the use of

computers to create design drawings and product models.

CAE

(Computer-Aided Engineering) is the broad

usage ofcomputer softwareto aid inengineeringtasks .

CAM

(Computer-Aided Manufacturing) is the use of

computer software to controlmachine toolsand related
machinery in themanufacturingof work pieces.

CAPP

(Computer-Aided Process Planning) is the

use of computer technology to aid in the process planning
of a part or product, in manufacturing.

Cont
CAQ

(Computer-Aided Quality Assurance)

is the engineering application of computers and
computer controlled machines for the inspection
of the quality of products.
PPC (Production Planning and Control) A
production (or manufacturing) planning and
control (MPC) system is concerned with planning
and controlling all aspects of manufacturing,
including materials, scheduling machines and
people,
and
coordinating
suppliers
and
customers.

(Enterprise
Resource
Planning)

CIMOSA

provides a solution forbusiness

integrationwith four types of products:
The

CIMOSA Enterprise Modeling Framework,

which provides a reference architecture
forenterprise architecture.
CIMOSA

IIS, a standard for physical and

application integration.
CIMOSA

Systems Life Cycle, is a life cycle model

for CIM development and deployment.
Inputs

to standardization, basics for

international standard development.

Advantages
Responsiveness to shorter
product life cycles
Better process control
emphasizes product
quality and uniformity.
Supports and co-ordinates
exchange of information
Designs components for
machines.
Decreases the cost of
production and
maintenance

Disadvantages
Unfamiliar
technologies used.
Requires major
change in corporate
culture.
Reduction in short
term profit.
Perceived risk is high.
High maintenance
cost and expensive
implementation.
