Title: Reliability of information flow in a CIM system
Abstract: Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) systems provide a shared database management capability, and an information flow network that links automated manufacturing subsystems such as computer-aided design (CAD), flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), manufacturing resource planning (MRP II), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and group technology (GT) into a unified, well-coordinated system. Integration in a CIM environment is the sharing of information among different subsystems of the manufacturing system. The success of a CIM often depends on how well the subsystems are integrated in the communication network. This study employs the method of system reliability to the analysis of information flow in a CIM network.
