Riassunto

For undergraduate courses in Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Automated Manufacturing.

The only technology level text in Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, this text shows how CIM fits into the current manufacturing systems and how the technology is used to solve real-world industrial problems. Unique in approach, it integrates basic product design techniques and manufacturing fundamentals and principles, along with a look at the changing operations and information systems that support CIM in the enterprise.

JAMES A . REHG, CMfgE, is an Assistant Professor of Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University-Altoona College, where he teaches automation controls courses in the B.S. program in Electromechanical Engineering Technology. He earned both a B.S. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from St. Louis University and has completed additional graduate study at Wentworth Institute, University of Missouri, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, and Clemson University. Before coming to Penn State-Altoona, he was the CIM coordinator and department head of CAD/CAM/Machine Tool Technology at Tri-County Technical College. Prior to that, he was the Dean of Engineering Technology and Director of Academic Computing at Trident Technical College in Charleston, South Carolina. He held the position of Director of the Robotics Resource Center at Piedmont Technical College in Greenwood, South Carolina, and was department head of Electronic Engineering Technology of Forest Park Community College in St. Louis, Missouri. In addition, he was a Senior Instrumentation Engineer for Boeing in St. Louis. Professor Rehg has authored five texts on robotics and automation, and has presented numerous papers on subjects related directly to training in automation and robotics. He has also been a consultant to nationally recognized corporations and many educational institutions. He has led numerous seminars and workshops in the areas of robotics and microprocessors and has developed extensive seminar training material. In addition, he has received numerous state awards for excellence in teaching and was named the outstanding instructor in the nation by the Association of Community College Trustees.

HENRY W. KRAEBBER, P.E., CPIM, is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Technology at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. He has fifteen years of experience and leadership in manufacturing operations, engineering, quality, and management. He has worked at the Collins Avionics and Missiles group of Rockwell International, the Plough Products Division of Schering-Plough Corporation, and Flavorite Laboratories. His work has supported the production of industrial, consumer, and military products in the food, consumer products, and electronics areas. Career highlights include developing and implementing manufacturing control systems (MRP2, including MAPICS and AMAPS) and implementing the concepts of total quality. He earned a B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University, and a M.E. degree in Industrial Engineering from Iowa State University. He is a senior member of the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE). As an active member of professional organizations, he is now Past President and the VP of Education for the Wabash Valley Chapter of APICS. In August 1989, Mr. Kraebber returned to Purdue University to become a faculty member in the School of Technology program in Computer Integrated Manufacturing Technology. He currently teaches courses in manufacturing operations, manufacturing quality control, and integrated systems. He is President of CIM in Higher Education Alliance, a nonprofit corporation that supports CIM and manufacturing education.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Written for the technologist or engineer who wants a clear picture of the basic concepts and real-world application of computer-integrated manufacturing, this book features:

• Systems Approach―Shows how CIM fits into current manufacturing systems and how the technology is used to solve actual industrial problems.
• Interdisciplinary Coverage―Includes engineering, business, and production considerations for decision making.
• Applications―The CIM model used is consistent with the SME New Manufacturing Enterprise Wheel developed by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers.
• Simulation Software―The problem sets refer to simulation software so that readers can see a manufacturing operation under realistic production constraints.
