Computer Integrated Manufacturing System (MFG455/MFG343)

This module is designed to enable students to understand the concepts of a closed-loop feedback production system whose prime inputs are product requirements and whose prime outputs are finished products. The computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) system comprises Computer Aided Design (CAD), and 3-D parametric solids modeling concepts, and integrates these concepts into Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) and processes. Implementation of CIM is performed through the mechanization, optimization, and computerization of various processes in synchronization with the automation of information flow. Using the same component in GSE 242, MFG 243, MFG 333 to create master model for designing each component, and a master model for machining each operation.
