Controlling the resources of a N/C fabrication department: the gap between computer systems and reality

Published: 04 June 1973 Publication History

Abstract

Being a Fabrication Manager offers some peculiar opportunities to study the language of manufacturing. I contact shop supervision and workers on their level, and interface with executive management for interpretation. From short expressive sentences, dotted with 4-letter words, to eloquent nonreceptive dissertations on noncompliance to schedule, I live my life. Then, with Part Programmers who talk about APT, ASP, Arlem, Post Processors, computer priorities, R.J.E. units, main frame failures, high level languages, etc. I become disorientated. Then, finally, the computer specialist, who can do anything, but who has not, within a given time, completed one item. Suddenly, computer people frighten me.
