1. Read and translate the text Managing cim. Make up the plan in form of questions, render the text. Managing cim

Managers must understand that short-term goals must support the long-term goal of implementing a CIM. In deciding to implement a CIM, there are three perspectives that must be considered: the conceptual plan, the logical plan, and the physical plan. The conceptual plan is used to demonstrate a knowledgeable understanding of the elements of CIM and how they are related and managed. It is said that the conceptual plan states that by integrating the elements of a business, a manager will produce results better and faster than those same elements working independently. The logical plan organizes the functional elements and logically demonstrates the relationships and dependencies between the elements. It further shows how to plan and control the business, how to develop and connect an application, communications, and database network. The physical plan contains the actual requirements for setting the CIM system in place. These requirements can include equipment such as hardware, software, and work cells. The plan is a layout of where the computers, work stations, robots, applications, and databases are located in order to optimize their use within the CIM and within the company.

CIM is challenged by technical and cultural boundaries. The technical challenge is first complicated by the varying applications involved. It is also complicated by the number of vendors that the CIM serves as well as incompatibility problems among systems and lack of standards for data storage, formatting, and communications. Companies must also have people who are well-trained in the various aspects of CIM. They must be able to understand the applications, technology, and communications and integration requirements of the technology.

CIM cultural problems begin within the division of functional units within the company such as engineering design, manufacturing engineering, process planning, marketing, finance, operations, information systems, materials control, field service, distribution, quality, and production planning. CIM requires these functional units to act as whole and not separate entities. The planning process represents a significant commitment by the company implementing it. Although the costs of implementing the environment are substantial, the benefits once the system is in place greatly outweigh the costs

2. Listen to the text Flexible Manufacturing Systems. Read the following statements, say whether they are true (t) or false (f).

  1. A flexible manufacturing system allows to react easily in the case of changes.

  2. This flexibility falls into three categories, which contain numerous subcategories.

  3. Machine flexibility is the ability to use multiple machines to perform the same operation on a part.

  4. Routing flexibility is ability of the system to be changed to produce new product types.
