Computer aided manufacturing may be defined as an effective use
of computers and computer technology in the planning management
and control of the manufacturing function.
CAM involves the use of computers to assist in all the phases of
manufacturing a product, including process and production
planning, machining, scheduling, management and quality control.
12. APPLICATIONS OF CAM
The applications of CAM can be divided into two broad categories
Manufacturing Planning
Manufacturing Control
13. MANUFACTURING PLANNING
APPLICATIONS OF CAM
The manufacturing Planning applications of CAM are those in which computers
are used indirectly to support the production function, but there is no direct
connection between the computer and the process.
The important manufacturing planning applications of CAM includes:
Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP)
Computer assisted NC part programming
Computerised machinability data systems
Development of work standards
Cost estimation
Production and inventory planning
Computer aided line balancing
14. Computer Aided Process Planning
(CAPP)
Process planning is an act of preparing a detailed work instructions
for the manufacture and assembly of components into a finished
production in discrete part manufacturing.
Process planning consist of :
1. The selection of manufacturing processes and operations,
production equipment, tooling and jigs & fixtures.
2. The determination of manufacturing parameters; and
3. The specification of selection criteria for the quality assurance
(QA) methods to ensure product quality.
15. Computer assisted NC part programming
Numerical control part program is the planned and documented
procedure by which the sequence of processing steps to be
performed on the NC machines
Types of part programming
Manual part programming
Computer assisted part programming
16.
17. Computerised machinability data systems

appropriate cutting parameters such as speed, feed and depth of cut
to use for different materials.
Advantages
It can store data from different sources
The data base can be kept up to date
Fast retrieval of selected data is possible
Rapid optimization computations are possible
Comparison of alternative cutting conditions is easy
18. Development of work standards
There are several computer packages that can be employed to
determine time standards for direct labour jobs in the factory.
They overcome tedious manual time study and motion study used to
perform the same task.
The computerized systems are based on the use of standard data of
basic work elements stored in computer either in a data file or in the
form of a mathematical formula.
19. ADVANTAGES
Reduction in time required to set the standard
Greater accuracy and uniformity in the time standards
Ease of maintaining the methods and standards file
Elimination of the biased performance rating step
Settling the time standards before the job gets into production
20. COST ESTIMATING
Cost estimating is the process of determining the probable cost of
the product before the start of its manufacture.
With the use of computers, the several steps of the cost estimating
procedure are computerized.
Computerized cost estimating is a program that can estimate the cost
of a new product, by computerizing several of the key steps required
to prepare the estimate. (such as the application of labour and
overhead rates to the sequence of planned operations)
Thus the total cost for a new product can be estimated by the
computer program by summing up the individual component costs
from the engineering bill of materials
21. Production and inventory planning
Production planning is a pre-production activity. It is the pre-
determination of manufacturing requirements such as manpower,
materials, machines and manufacturing process.
Production planning is concerned with
Deciding which products to make, how many of each, and when
they should be completed
Scheduling the production and delivery of the parts and the
products;
Planning the manpower and the equipment resources needed to
accomplish the production plan
22. Computer aided line balancing
Line balancing problem is concerned with assigning the individual
work elements to work stations so that all workers have an equal
amount of work.
Computer aided line balancing program helps to find the best
allocation of work elements among stations on an assembly line.
23. MANUFACTURING CONTROL

Computer process monitoring
It is a data collection system in which the computer is connected
directly to the workstation and associated equipment for the purpose
of observing the operation.
Computer process control
It is a process of controlling the controllable input variables with the
use of computers so as to achieved the desired performance
evaluation variables.
25.

1. The release of production orders to the factory
2. Monitoring and controlling the progress of the orders through the
various work centres
3. Acquiring information on the status of the orders
28. Inventory control
Inventory control is the scientific method of determining what to
order, when to order and how much to stock so that costs associated
with buying and storing are optimal without interrupting production
and sales.
The two types of inventory models
1. Fixed order quantity models (Q-models)
2. Fixed –time period models (P-models)
29. Just in time production systems
JIT is management philosophy that strives to eliminate sources of
manufacturing waste by producing the right part in the right place at
the right time.
JIT is also known as stockless production
The ideal JIT production system produces and delivers only the
required items, at the required time, and in the required quantities.
30. Sequential Engineering
Traditionally the product design is carried out by the design
department in relative isolation i.e the design department finalizes
the design and the engineering drawing without consulting the
manufacturing, quality and services departments.
All these phases are sequentially carried out
31.
32. The major weakness of sequential
engineering approach are
Insufficient production specification leading to an excessive amount
of modifications
Little attention to manufacturability issues of the product at the
design stage
Incorrect cost estimation, leading to a lack of confidence in the
estimated cost of projects
The likelihood of late changes usually leads to expensive changes to
tooling and other equipment.
33. CONCURRENT ENGINEERING
Concurrent engineering is a systematic approach to the integrated
concurrent design of products and their related processes, including
manufacturing and support.
Advantages:
Decreased product development lead time
Improved profitability

items whose demand is continuous and high. Here single raw material
can be transformed into different kind of products at different stages
of production processes. E.g., in processing of crude oil in refinery
one gets kerosene, gasoline, etc., at different stage of production.
The characteristics, merits and demerits of continuous production
system are the same as that of the mass production system.
