The growing demand for unique products, coupled with increased competition, propels manufacturing companies to switch to a highly efficient and effective manufacturing system comprising of carefully designed sub-systems in order to come up with products having, both, high quality as well as cost-effectiveness at the same time. This requires complete integration of all sub-systems of a manufacturing organization using computer technology; Computer-Integrated manufacturing (CIM), which has become an indispensable approach for modern-day manufacturing organizations. In addition to its significance in the manufacturing industry, The concept of CIM is also of paramount importance for prospective engineers. Keeping all this in mind, the authors, from diverse backgrounds; teaching, research, and industry, have come together and developed this wonderful treatise on the subject. This book is written by authors who are well-qualified and accomplished in their own respective arenas and will serve as a textbook for B.Tech. (Mechanical Engineering), M.Tech. (Industrial engineering & manufacturing/production engineering), and MBA students. Furthermore, this text will be useful for industry practitioners to plan and implement CIM.
