Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CIM aims to integrate all aspects of the manufacturing process, including design, engineering, planning, scheduling, and control, through the use of technology and computers. Automation plays a significant role in CIM by reducing labor costs, increasing productivity, and improving quality control. Therefore, option A is the best choice. The other options, namely MES and TMS, focus on specific areas of the manufacturing process and do not necessarily involve automation of production processes. While FMS does focus on automation, it is only one aspect of the overall CIM approach.
