Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant Computer Integrated Manufacturing Strategic Plan (FY 1986-1992): a working document
The Y-12 Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) Program is managing the migration of the plant's CIM infrastructure from today's environment to an integrated, highly flexible, and more responsive manufacturing architecture planned for the 1990s. The program is committed to: (1) meeting DOE CIM directives, and (2) improving the manufacturing performance of the Y-12 Plant. The CIM Program charter in Y-12 is to improve manufacturing performance through integrated computer and communication technologies such that the plant's ability to meet its current and future manufacturing objectives is significantly enhanced. To achieve this goal, CIM technologies are being applied in two primary areas: (1) automation of manufacturing processes, and (2) automation of information of information systems. The objectives of the CIM Program are as follows: Meet DOE CIM directives; Reduce product cost; Meet production schedules with minimum contingency costs; Improve product quality via quality assurance at the point of origin; Minimize in-process inventory and improve inventory control; Reduce product lead time; Improve production flexibility.
