A) a flexible system.
B) a computer-based feedback control system.
C) computer-integrated manufacturing.
D) heuristic manufacturing integration.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) is a system where computers control the entire manufacturing process, including design, production, and quality control. Expensive software is required to allow communication between computer-aided design (CAD) machines and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) machines, which is a key component of CIM. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. The other options do not accurately describe the specific software function required for CIM.
