Lesson 37 : Computer Integrated Manufacture (Cim)

Organizational Structure

CIM requires flexible organizational structure. There is a growing consensus that old fashioned approaches to manufacturing and rigid corporate rules are a significant barrier to CIM. The majority of manufacturing organizations in this country were designed to support specialization as opposed to integration.
In summary, the following are the major problems faced by manufacturers that may lead to failure in CIM (or FMS) implementation.

  • Inadequate measurement system.
  • Partially obsolete facilities.
  • Inadequate database.
  • User hostility.
  • Shortage of technical skill.
  • Incompatibility between systems.
  • Management generation gap.
  • Changes in management philosophy.
  • Facilities with mixed processing.
  • Dynamic volume and mix.
  • Outdated organization.
  • Varieties of process options.
  • Loss of superior/subordinate support.
