Computer Integrated Manufacture
1)Scope of CIM
2)Types of manufacture
1. continuous process industries These industries are easily controlled and automated and computers are widely used for process monitoring, control and optimization.
2. Mass production industries Industries manufacturing fasteners, integrated chips, automobiles etc. are all mass produced and are therefore specially designed and optimized to ensure automatic and cost effectiveness.
3. Batch production
Large % of manufacturing industries are classified as batch production industries. The distinguishing feature of this type of manufacture are small to medium size of batch.
3)Benefits of CIM
1. Mistake-proofing
2. Information Gathering
3. Increased Capacity
4. Flexibility
5.Reduced manufacturing lead time
6. Improved quality
7.lower total cost
4)what is a Database
A database is an organized collection of data. The data are typically organized to model relevant aspects of reality in a way that supports processes requiring this information. For example, modeling the availability of rooms in hotels in a way that supports finding a hotel with vacancies. Formally, "database" refers to the data themselves and supporting data structures. Databases are created to operate large quantities of information by inputting, storing, retrieving, and managing that information. Databases are set up so that one set of software programs provides all users with access to all the data.
Nine elements of CIM
Nine major elements of a CIM system are:
Marketing
Product Design
Planning
Purchase
Manufacturing Engineering
Factory Automation Hardware
Warehousing
Finance
Information Management
i. Marketing: The need for a product is identified by the marketing division. The specifications of the product, the projection of manufacturing quantities and the strategy for marketing the product are also decided by the marketing department. Marketing also works out the manufacturing costs to assess the economic
