  Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)

Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) refers to the use of

computer-controlled machineries and automation systems in
manufacturing products. CIM combines various technologies like
computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing
(CAM) to provide an error-free manufacturing process that reduces
manual labor and automates repetitive tasks. The CIM approach
increases the speed of the manufacturing process and uses real-time
sensors and closed-loop control processes to automate the
manufacturing process. It is widely used in the automotive, space and
ship-building industries.
 Flexible Manufacturing System

 A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is a production method that is designed to

easily adapt to changes in the type and quantity of the product being manufactured.
Machines and computerized systems can be configured to manufacture a variety of
parts and handle changing levels of production.
 A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) can improve efficiency and thus lower a
company's production cost. Flexible manufacturing also can be a key component of a
make-to-order strategy that allows customers to customize the products they want.
 Flexible Manufacturing System

This flexibility is generally considered to fall into two categories:

 The first category is called as Routing Flexibility which covers the
system's ability to be changed to produce new product types, and ability
to change the order of operations executed on a part.
 The second category is called Machine Flexibility which consists of the
ability to use multiple machines to perform the same operation on a
part, as well as the system's ability to absorb large-scale changes, such
as in volume, capacity, or capability.
 Just-in-Time

The just-in-time (JIT) inventory system is a management strategy that aligns raw-

material orders from suppliers directly with production schedules. Companies
employ this inventory strategy to increase efficiency and decrease waste by
receiving goods only as they need them for the production process, which
reduces inventory costs. This method requires producers to forecast demand
accurately.
 Just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing is a production model in which items are
created to meet demand, not created in surplus or in advance of need.
 Just-in-Time

 Example: A just-in-time (JIT) inventory system is a management strategy that has a company receive
goods as close as possible to when they are actually needed. So, if a car assembly plant needs to
install airbags, it does not keep a stock of airbags on its shelves but receives them as those cars come
onto the assembly line.
 Benefits: JIT inventory management increases productivity by reducing the time and resources
required for manufacturing. This ensures faster production and shorter production runs. You can also
implement product changes quickly as there is less raw material stock.
  4 steps in JIT process
1. Step 1: Ensure plant efficiency. Complete plant efficiency is at the core of JIT manufacturing.
2. Step 2: Maintain quality control.
3. Step 3: choose the right equipment.
4. Step 4: Secure your supply chain.
 Human Resources Management System

“HRMS” stands for Human Resources Management System. It refers to a suite of software that organizations
use to manage internal HR functions. From employee data management to payroll, recruitment, benefits,
training, talent management, employee engagement, and employee attendance, HRMS software helps HR
professionals manage the modern workforce. Also called a human resources information system (HRIS),
HRMS systems put information about a company’s most valuable assets in front of the people who need
them.

 Office automation 

Office automation is a general term that describes the different types of computer systems and
software that are used to collect digitally, store, transfer, alter and utilize office information to
execute tasks. In essence, office automation helps to manage data. Office automation allows data
to move without human intervention. Since humans are left out of the equation, there is no risk of
manual error.
 Types of OA

1. Electronic Publishing: Electronic publishing systems include word

processing and desktop publishing.
Word processing software, (Microsoft Word) allows users to create, edit,
revise, store, and print documents such as letters, memos, reports etc.
Desktop publishing software (Adobe Pagemaker, Corel, Microsoft Publisher)
enables users to integrate text, images, photographs, and graphics to produce
high-quality printable output. Desktop publishing software is used on a
microcomputer with a mouse, scanner, and printer to create professional-looking
publications. These may be newsletters, brochures, magazines, or books.
 Types of OA

2. Electronic Communication: Electronic communication systems include electronic mail (e-

mail), voice mail, facsimile (fax), and desktop videoconferencing.
3. Image Processing and Document Storage: Image processing and document storage solutions include
technologies such as document workflow management systems and imaging tools such as scanners and
video capture cards. A document workflow management system makes it easy to store, search for, and
retrieve documents.
4. Office Management: office automation technologies such as scheduling and task management solutions.
With task management, organizations can easily assign and monitor tasks, as well as collect and analyze
performance data. BPM solutions take office automation a step further by allowing organizations to
implement process-level improvements.
