3. WHAT IS CIM ???

4. CIM
Computerized Integrated Management.

5. CIM
Design, test, and operate an
integrated environment which enables fundamental changes in
design, manufacturing and business operations.

6. OBJECTIVES
 The architecture of a computer Integrated Management network to
provide a generic design for an industry.
 Gives Strategies for the Fiber-Textile-Apparel (FTA) complex which
will be supported by appropriate monitoring, control and analysis
tools.
 Create the ability to integrate the FTA activities by defining and
developing information Transmission and retrieval systems for
activities within and among textile companies.

7. Computer system used in textile industry are
 Computer Aided Administration: (CAA)
computers are used for marketing, sales order processing and stock
control.
 Computer Aided Design: (CAD)
computers are used for developing designs, Pattern making, pattern
grading, Marker production and lay planning.
 Computer Aided Manufacture: (CAM)
Computers used for store design, lay planning and cutting,
Sewing and pressing.

8.  Computer Integrated Manufacture: (CIM)
A system that uses computer at every stages of planning,
Design and Manufacture.
 Electronic Point of Sale : (EPOS)
A computerized system that speeds up sales transactions and
Monitors sales levels.
