Abstract
Reviews the wide range of perspectives on the nature, scope and implications of computer integrated manufacturing (CIM). Presents the main deliverable of a three‐year programme of research conducted by the Keele Advanced Manufacturing Group. Entitled CIMple (Computer Integrated Manufacturing Programmed Learning Environment), it comprises a hypermedia‐based and business‐oriented design methodology to assist the user in the analysis, design and implementation of CIM systems. Presents both the underlying models within the methodology and information on how CIMple is used in practice.
