Abstract
Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) refers to the integrated information processing requirements for the technical and operational tasks of an industrial enterprise. The operational tasks can be referred to as the production planning and control system (PPC), as represented in the left fork of the Y in Fig. A.01. The more technical activities are characterized by the various CAX-concepts in the right fork of the Y. The PPC system is determined by order handling, whereas the CA-components support product description and the production resources. At the same time these information systems provide data for the associated financial and cost accounting systems.
