Source visual description
The original nested production-system chart includes CIM, MIS, FA, MRP, CRP, CAE, CAD, FMS, CAPP, CAP, FMC, CAM and CAT, with PDM to the right. Original nested borders, labels and connectors are retained.
- • CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing)
This is a system by which processes from creation of business strategy up to production are performed in an integrated manner. - • MIS (Management Information System)
This is a system through which information on corporate management is managed. - • FA (Factory Automation)
This is a system that aims to improve work efficiency by promoting automation of the machines and equipment in the factory through the use of computers. - • MRP (Material Requirements Planning)
This is a system by which the flow of resources from the raw material necessary for production up to the finished product is planned and managed on the basis of the production plan. The net requirement of the necessary resources is determined on the basis of the bill of materials, and the procurement plan of resources is created. · 3 questions - • CRP (Capacity Requirements Planning)
This is a system that creates and manages the work plan of the process unit on the basis of the performance load of the devices that is used in each process. - • CAE (Computer Aided Engineering)
This is a system that supports research (e.g., intensity, mechanism) related to the product. - • CAD (Computer Aided Design)
This is a system that supports activities related to the design of the product. Techniques that are used in this system include computer graphics and geometric modeling. · 2 questions

- • FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System)
This is an automated manufacturing system by which the manufacturing process from management of resources up to management of processes is integrated and controlled. - • CAPP (Computer Aided Process Planning)
This is a system by which the manufacturing procedure and processes of the machines used are planned. - • CAP (Computer Aided Planning)
This is a system by which the schedule of activities and machines for manufacturing is planned. - • FMC (Flexible Manufacturing Cell)
This is a system that automatically controls the cell, which is the unit of processing and assembly at each stage of the manufacturing process, with the help of a computer. - • CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing)
This is a system that supports the production activities of the product. It instructs the work process to the NC machine tool with the help of an NC program, and performs automatic operations. - • CAT (Computer Aided Testing)
This is a system that automatically tests whether or not the product shape and the functions are according to the design. - • PDM (Product Data Management)
This is a system that performs consolidated management of various types of data of all processes, from production planning and research development up to manufacturing, during the design and the manufacturing of industrial products.
