CIM - History of Manufacturing

What is Computer Integrated Manufacturing?

• the use of computers to help create, modify, analyze, or optimize a design or project

• a type of critical thinking that makes small improvements by teamwork, morals, and quality by helping each other.

• the process of using computer and automation systems to control manufacturing or production systems

• the use of numerical control (NC) software to create G-code to drive computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools for manufacturing parts and products.

What is Computer Aided Design?

• the use of computers to help create, modify, analyze, or optimize a design or project

• a type of critical thinking that makes small improvements by teamwork, morals, and quality by helping each other.

• the process of using computer and automation systems to control manufacturing or production systems

What is Kaizen?

• a production system which is aimed at reducing flow times in manufacturing and movement of materials and goods. A benefit is improved response times to customers.

• management that focuses on cutting out waste whilst ensuring quality.

• a type of critical thinking that makes small improvements by teamwork, morals, and quality by helping each other.

• a quality improvement process with the objective of making the number of defective products near insignificant.

What is Just in Time?

• a production system which is aimed at reducing flow times in manufacturing and movement of materials and goods. A benefit is improved response times to customers.

• management that focuses on cutting out waste whilst ensuring quality.

• a type of critical thinking that makes small improvements by teamwork, morals, and quality by helping each other.

• a quality improvement process with the objective of making the number of defective products near insignificant.

What is Six Sigma?

• a production system which is aimed at reducing flow times in manufacturing and movement of materials and goods. A benefit is improved response times to customers.

• management that focuses on cutting out waste whilst ensuring quality.

• a type of critical thinking that makes small improvements by teamwork, morals, and quality by helping each other.

• a quality improvement process with the objective of making the number of defective products near insignificant.

What is Lean Manufacturing?

• a production system which is aimed at reducing flow times in manufacturing and movement of materials and goods. A benefit is improved response times to customers.

• management that focuses on cutting out waste whilst ensuring quality.

• a type of critical thinking that makes small improvements by teamwork, morals, and quality by helping each other.

What is Automation?

• the use of technology to ease human labor or extend the mental or physical capabilities of humans.

• a system for the automatic relocation and retrieval of items or documents to or from storage.

• load carriers that travel along the floor of a facility without an onboard operator or driver.

• the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots.

What is Robotics?
