Abstract
Establishing uniform process chains with their accompanying data flows and short term control possibilities gives rise to great rationalization potential. This explains the substantial user-acceptance of CIM principles. What can a user do, however, when CIM is widely discussed, but not (yet) available in the form of complete CIM systems?
-
1.
Wait until CIM hardware and software is available for full implementation.
-
2.
Proceed with partial solutions and hope that, when CIM is fully available, these partial solutions can be integrated.
-
3.
Make fundamental decisiOns relating to PPC, CAD and CAM such that they will be in line with the future CIM set-up, but otherwise proceed with partial solutions.
-
4.
Actively pursue all the present opportunities for implementing CIM.
