The Computer-Integrated Enterprise (CIE) Program at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant: An executive overview
- comp.
The strategic and operational plans for the Computer-Integrated Enterprise (CIE) Program at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant are improving the plant's manufacturing performance and business functions by focusing on the automation and integration of plant operations made possible by the emerging computing and telecommunication technologies. By using CIE technologies, the plant is evolving from today's manufacturing environment to the more cost-effective, competitive, and flexible manufacturing environment of the 1990s. The program is committed to meeting the Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) directives established by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and providing the means by which operations can improve manufacturing performance of the Y-12 Plant. Projects that will support Y-12 Plant and Department of Energy objectives are being implemented through analysis of the manufacturing environment of today and that of the future. These projects will permit the plant to incrementally change the way it does business and systematically evolve toward the ideal manufacturing environment known as the factory of the future. This paper discusses the CIE program in more detail. 17 figs.
