It is linking of manufacturing processes through the use of computers.
The "linking" - is essentially a communications link for the exchange of manufacturing data which is
used for process/machine control or management information with the ultimate goal to improve
production efficiency and the profitability of the company.
Is the process of automating various functions in a manufacturing company (business, engineering,

3. Computer Integrated Manufacture (CIM)
It is a critical element in the competitive strategy of global manufacturing firms because it lowers
costs, improves delivery times and improves quality.
CIM normally embrace all the processes from the initial design of clothing manufacture.
The concept is normally associated with the automation of processes and, manufacturing does not
have to be automated for CIM to be applied.
CIM performances can depends on computing developments that arise in the relevant areas of
manufacturing.
Can be a technology, tool or method used:
To improve entirely the design and manufacturing process
To increase productivity,
To help people and machines to communicate.
