SYLLABUS FOR SEMESTER - VIII ( CIM )

09ME803        Computer Integrated Manufacturing          

OBJECTIVE:           

• To gain knowledge on how computers are integrated at various levels of planning and manufacturing.
• To understand the flexible manufacturing system and to handle the product data and various software used for manufacturing

1. INTRODUCTION                                                                                             

The meaning and origin of CIM- the changing manufacturing and management scene - External communication - islands of automation and software-dedicated and open systems-manufacturing automation protocol - product related activities of a company- marketing engineering - production planning - plant operations - physical distribution- business and financial management.

2. GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND computer aided process planning         

History of group technology- role of G.T. in CAD/CAM integration - part families - classification and coding - DCLASS and MICLASS and OPITZ coding systems-facility design using   G.T. -benefits of G.T. - cellular manufacturing. Process planning - role of process planning in CAD/CAM integration - approaches to computer aided process planning -variant approach and generative approaches - CAPP and CMPP process planning systems.
