21ST CENTURY MANUFACTURING EPISODE 2 PART 12 DOC

As mentioned in Chapter 2,Ayres and Miller (1983) provides the succinct def-inition of computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) as "the confluence of thesupply elements (such as new computer technologies) and the demand elements (theconsumer requirements of flexibility, quality, and variety)."[r]

MANUFACTURING: ART,TECHNOLOGY, SCIENCE,ANDBusINESS1.1 INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS "MANUFACTURING"?The word has Latin roots: manu, meaning by hand, joined tofacere, meaning to make.The dictionary definition is "Making of articles by physical/abor or machinery, espe-cially on a large scale."Even this simple[r]

As a result of these three high-level needs, there is now an even greater needfur comprehensive models-c-of the type introduced in Chapters 7 and 8-that pre-dict material behavior during a manufacturing process, the stresses and/or tempera-tures on associated tooling, and the final product integrity[r]

share. They have done so in part by reengineering from commodity chips to high-value-added products, particularly microprocessors. The 1900s market was still rela-tively small for these products, but now they are in great demand. However,manufacturing quality and efficiency still seem to be the key[r]
