Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) involves the integration of all aspects of the manufacturing process, including design, planning, production, and delivery. This includes the use of computer-aided design (CAD) systems to create designs that can be quickly transmitted to production equipment and other departments. Therefore, the scenario described in the question is an example of CIM.
