Abstract
This paper discusses analysis and design tools for use by small and medium sized discrete-parts manufacturing companies for CIM system development. The development lifecycle consists of eight primary technical tasks: Problem Analysis, Requirements Definition, Preliminary Design, Detail Design, Construct & Verify, Integrate & Validate, Implementation & User Acceptance, and Maintenance & Support. The discussion is based upon experiences with the CIM/GEMS project, a DKr 15 million (US$ 2.3 million) project to develop Danish industry’s ability to manufacture the manufacturing system.
