An Information Modeling Methodolgy for CIM

통합생산을 위한 생산정보 모델에 관한 연구

An ecconomically competitive automated manufacturing system integrates the various control processes and data used in design, manufacturing, sale and service of products. CIM is a way to achieve such integration through computers and computational techniques in design, planning, and manufacturing. Developing effective CIM architectures is hampered by integration problems. The key to resolving these problems lies in a better understanding of manufacturing function and how it is related to other manufacturing functions. Integration of CIM environment requires coordinated solutions to data management problems for individual application system as well as for exchange of data between these applications. This requires a common framework for data management throughout the CIM environment. This paper discusses the design paradigm as a framework for this purpose. Designing an organizational structure to meet those goals involves 1) analyzing the functions through functional decomposition, 2) developing a data model to coordinate functions. As a result, we propose an object-oriented design methodology for manufacturing information system.
