FINAL YEAR PROJECT PRESENTATION

Computer Integrated Manufacturing System on

manufacturing process

Prepared by Syafiq Mansoor

Mechanical Engineering 3rd year
Supervisor : Mr Abd Aziz
Introduction

 Definition : 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.
 Describes a new approach to manufacturing,
management and corporate operation
 CIM is implemented in most manufacturing company
in Malaysia.
What is CIM anyway?

 Basically, CIM is just another way to do

business.
 Goes beyond all the technologies that used
in the manufacturing and product line.
 Covers every major decisions in every
department up till the services after sales.
Objectives

 How far the implementation of CIM in

Malaysia?
 The effect of CIM on manufacturing process
 To what extend the employer aware of this
technology?
 To be exposed to the real industry
 To establish contact with the people in the
industry
Theory

 For manufacturing process, there are a lot of

CIM components been integrated to smooth
the operation
 CAD, CAM, CAP, PPC, and AGV are main
components
Why implement CIM?
 High degree of flexibility
 Shorter lead time
 Products manufactured
are high in quality
 Be able to meet the
demands from
customers
 Less manual worker
needed
 The production
operation will run
smoothly
 less defect items
 Reduced inventory level
Methodology
 LITERATURE REVIEW
- get as much as information through Internet, online
journals and books.
- discussing about the material gathered with the
supervisor to get in depth understanding.
 VERBAL
- conduct interviews with people from the industry
-Mr. Zamzuri from Matshushita
-Mr. Ehsan Jani from Denso
-Mr. Othman (ex engineer sharp)
Methodology continued..

 QUESTIONNAIRES

- questionnaires prepared were sent out to

selected companies in Malaysia
-the feedback will be obtained through email
and mail
 PLANT VISIT
– Scheduled after presentation due to unavailability
of the person in charged
Findings

 QUESTIONNAIRES
– As expected, the rate of response from the company is slow
– From the questionnaires obtained, most of the companies
do not fully implement CIM ( fully automation )
– As for example, DENSO still use manual labor in their
production line
– The question asked in the questionnaires may trigger the
confidential question
Findings continued

 VERBAL

- SHARP implement CIM fully and DENSO

still using manual worker.
-the level of CIM component integration is
still low as compared to other country
-not fully automatic
Discussions

 Most companies in Malaysia used CIM but in

different ways.
 Some companies don’t implement fully CIM
on their manufacturing process
 Still depends on manual labor
 Implementing CIM cost big money
Conclusions

 Malaysia is a developing country so the

implementation of CIM is fairly new
 For foreign companies in Malaysia, its up to
the parent company to decide whether it is
appropriate to implement CIM at their branch
 Even though CIM smoothen the product
operation, but the cost of implementing it will
require further investigation and a very
lengthy process to seek approval.
