Error reduction
CIM systems require higher degrees of data accuracy to run properly.
inventory and operational information achieve a very high level of
accuracy, CIM can perform functions with minimal human intervention
and then report on the results automatically. Humans are still required to
monitor systems, but elimination of human error in many assignment
and reporting functions on factory floor operations drastically reduces
the error rate.
Speed
Assignment and reporting in a CIM environment are
performed automatically and immediately without any
delay involved with people-based transactions.
Depending on the environment, this additional speed
allows operations to be performed as soon as previous
work occurs without any lag time
Flexibility
Once operations are assigned and reported in a CIM system, changes to
various operations can also be performed more easily. CIM systems are
designed to be entirely paperless, eliminating the barriers to changing
operations. This flexibility, combined with the speed it can be
performed, allows companies to quickly react to market conditions and
then return to previous settings when market conditions change.
Integration
Factory floor operations are not integrated in non-CIM situations;
manufacturing operations and material usage must be reported by
humans who perform transactions. CIM offers a degree of integration
that enables the flexibility, speed and error reduction required to
compete and lead markets. Integrating factory floor operations with
enterprise software enables employees to do higher value functions for
their companies.
3a) Explain the reason why used reverse engineering
1. The original manufacturer of a product no longer produces a
product
2. There is inadequate documentation of the original design
3. The original manufacturer no longer exists, but a customer needs
the product
4. The original design documentation has been lost or never existed
