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.

Some material from this paper was presented at the IFS 6th International Conference on Flexible Manufacturing Systems, Turino, Italy, November 1987.

Currently on leave from the Department of Industrial Engineering, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA.
