The rate of technology adoption and the ability to use that technology to remain competitive and add value define the advanced manufacturing sector
Objective of JIT
Produce only the products the customer wants. Produce products only at the rate that the customer wants them. Produce with perfect quality Produce with minimum lead time. Produce products with only those features the customer wants. Produce with no waste of labor, material or equipment -- every movement must have a purpose so that there is zero idle inventory. Produce with methods that allow for the development of people

Computer-Integrated Manufacturing
It was promoted by machine tool manufacturers in the 1980's and the Society for Manufacturing Engineers (CASA/SME). Quite often it was mistaken for the concept of a "lights out" factory.
CIM Includes
CAD/CAM, computer-aided design/computeraided manufacturing, CAPP, computer-aided process planning, CNC, computer numerical control machine tools, DNC, direct numerical control machine tools, FMS, flexible machining systems, ASRS, automated storage and retrieval systems, AGV, automated guided vehicles, use of robotics and automated conveyance, computerized scheduling and production control, a business system integrated by a common data base.
CIM
Integration of design, manufacture & delivery via computer technology CAD - uses software to create & modify designs CAM - uses programmable automation in manufacturing CAE - links functional design to CAD form design CAPP - creates processing instructions for CAM GT- classifies designs to benefit from prior experience
FMS contd...
An FMS is designed to provide both of these features. Programmable machine tools Controlled by common computer network Combines flexibility with efficiency Reduces setup & queue times

FMS Problems
Part type selection (Askin) - selecting parts that will be produced in the FMS over some relatively long planning horizon. Part selection (Stecke) - from the set of parts that have current production requirements and have been selected for processing in the FMS, select a subset for immediate and simultaneous processing. Machine grouping (Stecke) - partition machines into groups where each machine in a group can perform the same set of operations.
Loading (Stecke) - allocate the operations and required tools of the selected part types among the machine groups.
Control - provide instructions for, and monitor the equipment in the FMS so that the production goals identified by the above problems are met.
