Abstract
Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) has been motivated by the desire to achieve the high levels of flexibility, productivity, quality, and adaptability that are necessary for a company to remain competitive. However, CIM will not happen at all if management does not plan for it. This article describes the process of planning and implementing CIM, and discusses its important issues. The process encompasses the building of both the CIM manufacturing structure and infrastructure, and involves setting the product, market, and manufacturing strategies, developing a CIM plan, and implementing the plan.
