“…Third, it provides a basis for adapting the generic model for particular manufacturing domains, and thus providing companies with opportunities to map migration paths for their future development. Finally, it provides a basis for generic requirements for the production of systems and tools to help organizations in their operations (e.g., Sargent, 1993).…”

This article addresses the implications of the drive towards defining Reference Architectures for manufacturing companies. These architectures are intended to accomplish many purposes: to allow companies to define models of their structure and operations for discussion and planning purposes; to provide workflow models for companies to utilize in their everyday operations; to provide recognized interfaces with which different companies can interoperate; to provide hardware and software suppliers with generic functional models and frameworks into which they can fit their offerings; and to enable a wider understanding of manufacturing. This is an area currently dominated by information technology and its professionals; however, because of the vital and intrinsic role of people in organizations, ergonomists must become involved in this movement as well. This article outlines some of the thinking that has gone on, and identifies some of the deeper ergonomics issues that must be addressed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

“…Flexible software has become a major goal for developers of manufacturing automation. Flexibility of machine tools and cells has now reached such a level that it is often the inflexibility of the software, not the machines, which inhibits a fast response to market demands [7]. Major categories of viewpoint to manufacturing automation have grown up from the simplest Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) to the integration of Computer Aided Design (CAD), and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) in modern manufacturing systems, which define the life-cycle of a concurrent engineering approach.…”

This paper focuses on how basic CIM laboratory work can be enhanced through the use of Internet. In the typical CIM laboratory experiment students are asked to produce their NC-Codes for a given task. By the use of the web-site tools as discussed here, students' design their parts, produce NC-Codes, upload them to the FTP-Site and prepare necessary configuration for workorder dispatching. In the lab hour they are again asked to send the work order for the part and watch online status and statistics online. This method demonstrates a typical concurrent engineering approach in an automated manufacturing environment, from design to manufacture.
