Reasons
They have more complex products, shorter product life cycle,
shorter delivery time, more customized products and fewer
skilled workers.

Objective
To avoid long design time, companies should develop tools and
use new technologies, also improve their design and
manufacturing process
 Definition1
• CIM is the application of computer
science technology to the enterprise
of manufacturing in order to provide
the right information to the right
place at the right time, which enable
the achievement of its product,
process and business goals (Ayres,
1991).
 Definition2
• CIM is the integration of the total
manufacturing enterprise through
the use of integral systems and data
communications coupled with new
managerial philosophies that
improve organizational and
personnel efficiency (Singh, 1996).
CIM Structure
 Types of Manufacturing System
1. Continuous-flow processes. Continuous
dedicated production of large amount of bulk
product. Continuous manufacturing is
represented by chemicals, plastics,
petroleum, and food industries.
 Types of Manufacturing System
2. Mass production of discrete products.
Dedicated production of large quantities of
one product (with perhaps limited model
variations). Examples include automobiles,
appliances and engine blocks.
 Types of Manufacturing System1
3. Batch production.
Production of medium lot sizes of the same
product. The lot may be produced once or
repeated periodically. Examples: books, clothing
and certain industrial machinery.
 Types of Manufacturing System1
4. Job-shop production. Production of low
quantities, often one of a kind, of specialized
products. The products are often customized
and technologically complex. Examples:
prototypes, aircraft, machine tools and other
equipment.
Types of Manufacturing System2
Elements of CIM
 Management Information Subsystem
• To manage business process and information

market order business

strategy processing decision

material finance inventory

supply management management

human company
sales
resource production
prediction
management plan
 MIS 1
• The aims of MIS are to shorten delivery time,
reduce cost, and help the company to make
rapid decision to react to market change.
• Key application software uses in MIS is ERP
(Enterprise Resource Planning).
• Find out any commercial ERP software
products in market and give detail information
on the basic concept of ERP.
 CAD/CAPP/CAM Subsystem
• Computer Aided Design
• Computer Aided Process Planning
• Computer Aided Manufacturing
• Also called design automation subsystem, It
used to promote the design automation
standard and provide high quality product in
faster design
 CAD/CAPP/CAM Subsystem1
• CAD - to assist in the creation, modification,
analysis, or optimization of a product design.
• CAPP - production of a part or an assembly. It
act as a bridge between design and
manufacturing by translating design
specifications into manufacturing process
details.
• CAM - preparing data for MAS, including
producing NC code for NC machine,
generating tool position, planning tool motion
route, and simulating tool movement.
Manufacturing Automation Subsystem
• MAS can be described to structural, function and
process.
• Structural description defines the hardware,
software system associated with the production
processes.
• Function description defines the MAS with a
number of functions that combine together to
finish the task of transforming raw material into
product.
• Process description defines the MAS with a series
of processes covering every activity in the
manufacturing process.
Manufacturing Automation Subsystem 1

• Objectives of MAS are to increase the

productivity, reduce cost, reduce work-in-
progress, improve product quality and reduce
production time.
• Control methods are studied and MAS
implemented shop-floor control and
management system, it is a computer
software system that is used to manage and
control the operation of MAS.

Computer Aided Quality Management
Subsystem
• CIMS is a system used to guarantee the
product quality and covers a wide range from
product design, material supply, to production
quality control.
• There are four components:
– quality planning,
– inspection and quality data collection,
– quality assessment and control,
– integrated quality management.
Database Management Subsystem
• DMS provides a basic support for the data
store and information sharing of
manufacturing company.
 Computer Network Subsystem
• CNS consists of a number of computers (called
nodes in the network), network devices and
network software.
• CNS is used to connect different computers
together so that enable the data
communications between different
computers.

AUTOMATION IN MANUFACTURING
 Automation
• What is automation?
• Why automation is required?
• Which are the operations can be
automated in production system?
• Can automation suddenly be implemented?
 Automation1
• Automation can be defined as the
technology concerned with the
application of complex mechanical,
electronic, and computer-based systems
in the operation and control of
manufacturing systems.
 Automation2
• Automation is the use of control systems
(numerical control, programmable logic control,
and other industrial control systems),
in concert with other applications of
information technology (computer-aided
technologies [CAD, CAM,]), to control industrial
machinery and processes, reducing the need for
human intervention.
 Automation3
• In the scope of industrialization, automation is
a step beyond mechanization.
• Where as mechanization provided human
operators with machinery to assist them with
the muscular requirements of work.
• Automation greatly reduces the need for
human and mental requirements as well.
• Processes and systems can also be automated.
Reasons for Automation??
 Reasons for Automation
1. To increase labor productivity
2. To reduce labor cost
3. To mitigate the effects of labor shortages
4. To reduce/remove routine manual & clerical
tasks
5. To improve worker safety
6. To improve product quality
7. To reduce manufacturing lead time
8. To accomplish what cannot be done manual
 CAD/CAM
• CAD/CAM involves the use of the digital
computer to accomplish certain functions in
product design and production (product
manufacturing).
• Relationship between them is a conversion
CAD data based into a process plan for making
the product automatically.
• In CIM system, the system offers all of the
engineering function as shown in next figure.
Scope of CAD/CAM and CIM
 Product Design
• A part of critical function in production
system. Thus, the general process of design
should be discussed.
• Design process is an iterative process
consisting of six phase: (1) recognition of
need. (2) problem definition. (3) synthesis. (4)
analysis and optimization. (5) evaluation and
(6) presentation.
Design Process
 Recognition Need
• Through identifying some deficiency in a
current machine by an engineer or perceiving
of some new product opportunity by a
salesperson.
• It involves the realization by some one that a
problem exists for which some corrective
action can be taken in the form of a design
solution.
 Problem Definition
• It involves a through specification of the item
to be designed. This specification includes the
physical characteristics, function, cost, quality
and operating performance.
 Synthesis and Analysis
• Both are closely related and highly interactive
in the design process.
• In considering a development of a certain
product design, each of the subsystems of the
product must be conceptualized by the
designer, analyzed, improved through this
analysis procedure, redesigned, analyzed
again, and so on.
 Evaluation
• It concerned with measuring the design
against the specifications established in the
problem definition phase.
• It often requires the fabrication and testing of
a prototype model to assess operating
performance, quality, reliability and other
criteria.
 Presentation
• It is concerned with documenting the design
by means of drawings, material specifications,
assembly lists and so on.
 Design Process Using CAD
• Geometric Modeling – to develop a mathematical
description of the geometry of an object.
• Engineering Analysis – to analyze in form of stress-
strain calculations, heat transfer, or dynamic
simulation.
• Design Evaluation and Review – to evaluate and review
a proposed design includes dimensioning, error
checking, animation of discrete-event simulation
solutions.
• Plant Layout Design Scores – to design the floor layout
and physical arrangement of equipment in a facility by
software package.
 Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
• Quality-related technique.
• A systematic technique or method for
organizing and managing any given product
design problem.
• Other word, a systematic procedure for
defining customer desires and requirements
and interpreting them in term of product
features and process characteristics.
 QFD
• A series of interconnected matrices are
developed to establish the relationship
between customer requirements and the
technical features of a proposed new product.
• The matrices represent a progression of
phases in the QFD analysis as shown in next
figure.
QFD Matrices
 QFD Matrix1
• Each matrix is similar format and consists of six sections as
shown in the figure.
 QFD Matrix2
• Section 1- Identify customer requirement. By capturing the
customer’s needs, desires and requirements. Example of
items/descriptions – interviews, comment cards, formal
surveys, focus groups, study of complaint, customer
returns, internet and field intelligence.

• Section 2 – Identify product features needed to meet

customer requirement. By complying customer
requirement and product features.

• Section 3 – Determine technical correlations among

product features. By giving a score on relationship between
a pairs of product features.
 QFD Matrix3

• Section 4 – Develop relationship matrix between customer

requirements and product features. By giving the score on
relationship between them.
• Section 5 – Comparative evaluation of input customer
requirements. There two comparisons; relative importance
and existing competitive products
• Section 6 – Comparative evaluation of output technical
requirements. By giving a score on relationship to the
output technical for each competing product.
 Example
We are engaged in a new product design project for
the case of child’s toy. The toy would be for children
ages 3-9. it is a toy that could be used in a bathtub
or on the floor. We want to construct the house of
quality for such a toy (the initial matrix in QFD), first
listing the customer requirements as might be
obtained from one or more of the methods given in
the table. We then want to identify the
corresponding technical features of the product and
develop the various correlations.
