Manufacturing Information Systems Using Computer Assisted Design (CAD), Computer Assisted Manufacturing (CAM) and Material Requirement Planning (MRP)
Abstract
Computers were first used in manufacturing firms around 1958. Since then, their impact on manufacturing has been of mixed results. In some instances, they have greatly improved the work done in the factories, especially in the area of computer controlled robots; while in other aspects of manufacturing, the results have been far below the desired standards. Inventory control and production scheduling are two examples of where computers have not lived up to management's expectations (Wright, 1974).
