Computer Integrated Manufacturing‚ known as CIM‚ is the phrase used to describe the complete automation of a manufacturing plant‚ with all processes functioning under computer control and digital information tying them together. CIM is an example of the implementation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in manufacturing. This starts with computer aided design‚ followed by computer aided manufacture‚ followed by automated storage and distribution. One integrated computer system

Activity 5.5a CAD Model Features Part 1 Introduction In order to use CAD effectively as a design tool‚ the designer must have the skills necessary to create‚ edit‚ and manipulate a 3D model of a part in order to create a realistic representation of an imagined object. In this activity you will build on the CAD skills that you learned in Activity 5.2b Introduction to CAD Skills. You will learn about and use additional tools and features available in most CAD programs and apply your new CAD skills

COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is the manufacturing approach to control the entire production process by of using computers .This integration allows individual processes to share with each other and initiate actions. Through the combination of computers‚ manufacturing can be faster and less error-prone‚ although the main benefit is the capability to create automated manufacturing processes.U.Rembold‚ B.O.Nnaji and A.Storr (1993) states that the manufacturing
