    Implementation of CIM

    A survey of integration and


    Adaptability issues

    What is CIM?

    CIM:
    Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM)
    is the architecture for integrating the
    engineering, marketing, and manufacturing
    functions through information technologies.
    In the broad sense:
    CIM involves the integration of all the
    business processes from supplier to end
    consumer.

    Benefits of
    CIM?

    Benefits of CIM:
    Increased machine utilization
    Reduced work in process inventory
    Increased productivity of working capital
    Reduced number of machine tools
    Reduced labor costs
    Reduced lead times
    More consistent product quality
    Less floor space
    Reduced set-up costs

    But

    The integration and adaptability is not so simple as look like


    There are many issues that creates hindrance in the
    integration and adaptability.

    Integration and adaptability issues

    The integration of computer- aided design (CAD) and


    CNC machines made a huge impact on the
    development of CIM.

    Integration and Adaptability Issues:

    Strategic issues:

    Organizational issues:

    Behavioral issues:

    Technological issues

    Operational issues

    Data integration:
    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 to assist the 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.

    Above Discussion Conclude as:


    CIM should be implemented only after the basic foundations
    are put in place in the company.
    Integration and adaptability issues of CIM should be
    evaluated considering the lack of knowledge about CIM and
    its potential, strategic implications of longer term planning.
    The integration and adaptability issues of CIM are
    influenced by factors such as the required hardware
    platform, integration requirements, and data processing
    skills.

    Human workers play a significant role in influencing the


    integration and adaptability issues of CIM especially by cooperative supported work.
    Despite the arguments regarding Flexibility of CIM, the
    experience from practice is that automation is frequently
    too rigid to adapt to changing market needs and the
    production of new products.
    There is a need for a unique set of standards that satisfies all
    the requirements of a CIM system.

    Suggested framework for the implementation of CIM


    The strategy for the successful implementation of CIM
    should include
    The use of computers for integrating information
    Material flows
    Small batch production with on-line production control
    system
    A local area network (LAN) for integrating the
    information flow within the organization

    Integration and adaptability framework of CIM

    conclusions and results


    A conceptual model to illustrate the role of strategic,
    organizational , behavioural, technology and operational
    issues in the implementation of CIM.
    A system such as computer- aided tools should be
    developed for evaluating different alternative processes
    of CIM integration and adaptation.
    A functional approach should be developed for
    integrating the concept of operational safety during the
    specification phase of CIM systems.
    A framework should be developed for designing CIM and
    building CIM systems by manufacturing personnel.
