Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)

Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is a comprehensive system that uses computer technology to coordinate and control all aspects of manufacturing processes. It integrates design, planning, production, and quality management through computer systems, enabling seamless communication and automation across different departments. CIM aims to improve efficiency, flexibility, and precision in manufacturing by automating tasks and providing real-time data for better decision-making. Essentially, it creates a unified digital environment where various manufacturing functions work together efficiently, reducing errors and production time, and allowing for quick adaptation to changes in product design or demand.
