Inhaltsangabe

The pressure of increasing competition together with the development of new technologies has forced widespread changes in manufacturing methodologies. Manufacturers have to compete within international markets in addition to the local markets in which they previously operated. As a result manufacturing has had to abandon more traditional approaches and apply more suitable engineering and business techniques. This volume presents material on modern management and control methodologies. Topics covered include: shop-floor scheduling; shop controller managers design; decision support; adaptive control; automatic supervision; balanced automation; and collaborative manufacturing. It provides examples of modern manufacturing systems and provides techniques that are readily applicable in real situations.

Reseña del editor

Modem manufacturing systems involve many processes and operations that can be monitored and controlled at several levels of intelligence. At the highest level there is a computer that supervises the various manufacturing functions, whereas at the lowest level there are stand alone computer controlled systems of manufacturing processes and robotic cells. Until recenty computer-aided manufacturing systems constituted isolated "islands" of automation, each oriented to a particular application, but present day systems offer integrated approaches to manufacturing and enterprise operations. These modem systems, known as computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) systems, can easily meet the current performance and manufacturing competitiveness requirements under strong environmental changes. CIM systems are much of a challenge, and imply a systemic approach to the design and operation of a manufacturing enterprise. Actualy, a CIM system must take into account in a unified way the following three views : the user view, the technology view, and the enterprise view. This means that CIM includes both the engineering and enterprise planning and control activities, as well as the information flow activities across all the stages of the system.

The pressure of increasing competition together with the development of new technologies has forced widespread changes in manufacturing methodologies. Present day manufacturers have to compete within international markets in addition to the local markets in which they previously operated. As a result manufacturing has had to abandon more traditional approaches and apply more suitable engineering and business techniques. State-of-the-art material on modern management and control methodologies is presented in this volume. Topics included are shop-floor scheduling, shop controller manager design, decision support, adaptive control, automatic supervision, balanced automation and collaborative manufacturing. This book's authoratative and experienced contributors examine important examples of modern manufacturing systems and provide techniques that are readily applicable in real situations. The reader should benefit from the style of the book which aims to imp rove analytical and design skills with the aim of operating efficient manufacturing systems.
