Abstract
In the past decades, CAPP has been one of the dominant research areas in CIM environment. Computer Integrated Manufacturing, known as CIM, is the phrase used to describe the seamless automation of a manufacturing plant, with all processes functioning under computer control and digital information tying them together. Realizing the importance of CIM, an attempt has been made in this work on the implementation of CIM with an objective to gain more insights into the integration and adaptability issues. This paper focuses on improving integration and adaptability as design and implementation objectives of computer-integrated manufacturing systems. A conceptual model has been developed to illustrate the key issues of integration and adaptability of CIM. The model has been explained by surveyed observations. In addition, a new framework has been proposed in this paper for the design and implementation of CIM and some future research directions are suggested. The work study noted the need to adjust the processes at the case study organization as well as replacing some pieces of equipment in the plant for anticipated improvement on production efficiency. Overall productivity could be increased by 40%. While equipment utilization increased by 25% from the current system to the proposed system. The cost of producing a Class 1 S8000/1100 boiler was reduced by 39.2 %. Operational efficiency was improved by 14%. Production throughput time could also be reduced from 5 months to 3 months
