Sinopsis

In this paper a nearly perfected concept of basic training in the field of "Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)" has been explained. With the help of detailed studies conducted in part by the Department of Technology and Education. Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Dortmund the necessity of basic training at all levels for employees in Computer Integrated Manufacturing was verified. Then the new requirements for employees were indicated with respect to the "ability to act". Moreover, the didactic demands of the concept for basic subject-specific training were clearly stipulated. In summary, this concept has to include the invariant, indispensable, fundamental and exemplary contents and the basic options of CIM work organisation which are most important today and in the near future. Then a configuration was presented to meet these demands: the multimedia system of the CIM Learnil)g Factory, subsidised by the EC in the COMETT programme. The CIM Learning Factory consists of • a well-operating "model factory", where activities like job management, production control, design, manufacturing, including loading, material transport and assembly as well as quality control and warehousing, are flexibly shown in functional models and are controlled by means of cross-linked computers (MPC); during the training the cross-linked computer structure is used like a language laboratory; • two different "teachware packages", the first for the target group of designers and decision-makers, the second for skilled workers and plant management.

Reseña del editor

The introduction of Computer-Integrated Manufacturing plays a vital role in ensuring economic competitiveness. The implementation of CIM has long been considered to be problematic. As a consequence of this, discussions as to the suitability of a particular organisation or process for CIM have focused almost exclusively on the technical issues. However, it has now become clear that CIM affects almost all aspects of an enterprise, and considerations of qualification for CIM should not, therefore, be limited merely to technical aspects. Its introduction is as much a matter of the organisation of work, and of organisation development. High quality, flexible manufacturing processes can be achieved only by maintaining a balance between the implementation of new technology, the organisation of work, and vocational education. The qualification of employees and their willingness in the introduction of CIM is an essential key to success.
