Introduction
Computer integrated manufacturing has been
described as everything from an intangible
philosophy to a specific CNC program. Further
complicating the process of arriving at a consensus
for the conceptualization of the term, is the issue of
where in the organization CIM resides. Is it a
management tool, a planning tool? Is it a
production floor activity? Or does CIM somehow fit
into an enterprise resource planning (ERP) model?
Introduction
Some see CIM as an integration tool, a tool
which uses information and automation
hardware and software for production
control and management. This school of
thought views CIM as a total integrative tool
for the organization, one which has the
ability to increase productivity, quality and
competitive advantage.
Introduction
Another organizational perspective of CIM is
that of a "management technology that
makes feasible the fully-automated factory-
of-the-future." With this perspective, CIM
allows the organization to fully integrate and
control all design and manufacturing
functions.

Synonyms
CIE - computer integrated enterprise
CIME - computer integrated manufacturing
enterprise
CIM means many different things to many
different people.
Introduction
An attempt to define CIM is analogous to a group
of blind people trying to describe an elephant by
touching it; each has a different description
depending upon the body part touched. Thus,
several definitions of CIM have been attempted.
The one put forward by Shrenker for the
Computer and Automated Systems Association of
the Society of Manufacturing Engineers
(CASA/SME) is perhaps the most appropriate.
Introduction
According to him 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

CIM Wheel
Introduction-CIM Wheel
CIM Wheel
1985 -The Computer and Automated Systems
Association of the Society of Manufacturing
Engineers (CASA/SME) published its vision of
enterprise-wide teaming--the CIM Enterprise
Wheel.
1992 -New Manufacturing Enterprise Wheel. This
updated vision preserves the understanding
gained from the previous CIM Enterprise Wheel.
The old Wheel looked primarily at automation
and integration inside the enterprise. The new
Wheel looks outside as well. It adds
understanding in these six areas:
CIM Wheel
The central role of a customer-oriented mission and
vision to strive for continuous improvement.
The importance of teams and human networking in the
new manufacturing environment.
The continuing importance of computer tools, now
increasingly distributed and networked. This includes
tools to support networking and concurrent engineering.
A focus on key processes and best practices throughout
the enterprise, from marketing through design,
manufacturing, and customer support.
Recognition of the move away from bureaucratic
structures, to leaner and more agile organizations.
The need to integrate an understanding of the external
environment, including customers, competitors,
suppliers, and the global manufacturing infrastructure.
CIM Wheel
The new Manufacturing Enterprise Wheel describes six
fundamental elements for competitive manufacturing:
The central role of the customer and evolving customer
needs.
The role of people and teamwork in the organization.
The revolutionary impact of shared knowledge and
systems to support people and processes.
Key processes from product definition through
manufacturing and customer support.
Enterprise resources (inputs) and responsibilities
(outputs).

Evolution of CIM
Primary factors leading to CIM development:
Development of NC
Cost effective computers
Manufacturing Challenges
Capability-to-Cost attractiveness of micro-
computers
Introduction
Why CIM? (Business Perspective)
To meet competitive pressures
To coordinate and organize data
To eliminate paper and the cost associated
with it
To automate communication within a facility
and increase its speed
Because of the advent of Personal computers
