Computer integrated manufacturing
Abstract
Attention is given to a proprietary system for computer-based design, manufacturing, quality control and production control. The six areas of computerized process application encompass airframe manufacturing, airframe modification and repair, engineering design and development, aircraft engine component manufacturing, gas turbine assembly/testing and repair/overhaul, and high technology foundry operations. It is noted that increased use of computer control results in businesses' greater capital intensiveness, with computer systems that have a shorter effective economic life than has been historically typical.
