CIM hardware & software
❖CIM Hardware consists of manufacturing equipment and Computer
related hard ware with the office equipment.

❖CIM Software consists of computer programs to carry out the various

functions and transfer the data from various areas of the production
system of the industry.

CIM hardware & software
❖Elements of CIM hardware:
❖Manufacturing equipment such as CNC machines, robots, DNC / FMS
systems, work holding and tool handling devices, Storage devices,
sensors, shop floor data collection devices, inspection machines etc.

e.g. Computers ,controllers, CAD /CAM systems, Microscribe, stylus,

digitizer, workstations, data entry terminals, bar code readers, printers
,plotters, modems, cables, connectors etc.

Advantages of CIM
❖Increased productivity
❖High cost of labor could be avoided
❖Labor shortages could be substituted
❖Safe
❖Reduce cost of raw materials
❖Improved product quality & performance
❖Reduced manufacturing lead time
❖Reduction of in-process inventory
❖Information Management

CIM & Lead Time
❖Lead time measures how long it takes to complete a process from beginning to
end. In manufacturing, lead time often represents the time it takes to create a
product and deliver it to a consumer.
❖Lead time = pre-processing + processing + post-processing ,
where: Pre-processing is a time needed for, handling the order, making sales order,
and preparing supplies; Processing is a period .when you make or collect the order.

❖An operation on a product (or work part) takes place when it is at the production
machine. The non operation elements are the handling, storage, inspections, and
other sources of delay.
❖The manufacturing lead lime (MLT) is the total time required to process a given
product (or work part) through the plant or industry.

CIM & Lead Time
❖Let us use, T0 to denote the time per operation at a given machine or
workstation, there are Nm separate machines or operations through
which the product must be routed in order to be completely processed.
and Tno to represent the non operation time, Q is the units/quantity of
the product in the batch.
❖A setup procedure is generally required to prepare each production
machine for the particular product. The setup typically includes
arranging the workplace and installing the tooling and featuring
required for the product. Let this setup time be denoted as Tm. Tsu is
avg. set up time, then manufacturing lead time (MLT)

Contd.

Production rate: The production rate for an individual manufacturing process or

assembly operation is usually expressed as an hourly rate (e.g., units of product per
hour). The rate will be symbolized as Rp

Problems
• Exp-01.
• A certain customized leather goods industry is produced in a batch size of 50 units
of wallet and requires a sequence of eight operations in the plant. The average
setup time is 3.0 h, and the average operation time per machine is 6.0 min. The
average non operation time due to handling, delays, inspections, and so on, is 7.0
hr. compute how many days it will take to produce a batch of 50 wallet, assuming
that the plant operates on a 7-hr shift per day.
