Abstract
Many production plants have reached the state where important activities and processes have been automated, namely production planning and scheduling, machining, material handling and quality control. However, in general, these automated activities and processes have no dialogue in between them, behaving like isolated automation islands. The CIM approach to production management really addresses the problem of dialogue and synchronism between production activities.
