This study provides an overview of Computer-Integrated Manufacturing in a conceptual and managerial context, and analyzes the organizational structure and managerial approaches required for successful CIM. CIM is considered as the (vertical) integration of computerized manufacturing systems at the shop floor with Management Information Systems, and as the (horizontal) integration of functional areas from design, manufacturing to business functions. This implies an integrated, company-wide, MIS approach toward CIM rather than a traditional and functional attitude. In this context, the organizational structure that fits CIM technology will be analyzed.

The Impact

Development of a formal model for control and analysis of manufacturing systems in which a human operator is incorporated is difficult, nevertheless the human is a key component. It requires building a model of human functional specifications for executing various tasks. In this paper, a human parts handler is considered and the human task performing process is described in terms of human tasks and errors. For this purpose, human tasks and errors are classified into two sets, respectively. Based on the number of locations where an operator is required to move to complete a task, tasks are divided into an on-the-spot task set and an around-the-system task set. For human errors associated with each of task set, a location error set and an orientation error set are defined, respectively. As the initial step toward building a controller for Human-involved Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems (HiCIM), assessment of the impact of human involvement on the control of a system, much of which is controlled by a computerized execution system, is presented. The complexity of systems from the control perspective is modeled and analyzed with human tasks and errors. The human task performing process is described using a flow chart format and a colored Petri net model is presented, and the complexity of process is analyzed in terms of human errors. A shop floor control example where the human operator performs material handling tasks is provided to illustrate the proposed methodology.

And Task

Computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) systems with a significant level of human-computer interaction are often inefficient. This is particularly problematical for those users who have to interact with multiple subsystem interfaces. These difficulties can be traced back to the fact that representation of the user in existing manufacturing models and systems is inadequate. An approach that increases user representation to improve CIM interface design is proposed, in which stereotype-based user and task models are used to specify a common user interface for each individual system user. An overview of the architecture is followed by discussion of an application domain (statistical process control) in which a demonstrator based on the architecture has been tested.

Information integration is an important part of the digital grid architecture. The purpose is to solve the information interaction obstacles between heterogeneous systems on the basis of making full use of the old system. This paper analyzes the development stage of digital power grid information integration from the perspective of information integration, and points out that the information integration of current digital power grid is mainly data-oriented integration. Based on the characteristics of digital power grid information integration, this paper puts forward a digital power grid information Integration solution combining horizontal information integration and vertical information integration, designs the overall architecture of digital power grid information integration, and elaborates the horizontal integration and vertical integration respectively.

Frequency Identification

As a key advanced manufacturing technology in next generation manufacturing systems, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is considered to be one of the most promising technological innovations with the potential to increase visibility and improve efficiency. Therefore, research about RFID and its applications are increasing by blasting with all kinds of RFID models in various fields, especially in manufacturing. By introducing RFID technology into the job-shop floor, this paper proposes a systematic RFID-driven graphical formalized deduction model (rfid-GFDM) for describing the time-sensitive state and position changes of work-in-progress (WIP) material flows and guiding where to deploy RFID devices and how to use them for collecting real-time on-site data. Four steps including RFID configuration based on the process flow model, state blocks model, automatic event generation, and extended event-driven model are proposed one by one to support the implementation of rfid-GFDM. The nature of RFID technology is revealed, too. A use case about a computer numerical control (CNC) milling system is studied, and it demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed model. Finally, the possibility of popularizing the model to other field is discussed, too. It is expected to establish a normative RFID modeling method that will facilitate the convenience of RFID applications in a broad scope.

The Right

This chapter develops a model of democratic representation from the standpoint of epistemic theories of democracy. Such theories justify democracy in terms of its tendency to yield decisions that “track the truth” by integrating asymmetrically dispersed knowledge. From an epistemic point of view, I suggest, democratic representatives are best modeled as epistemic intermediaries who facilitate the vertical integration of knowledge between policy experts and non-experts, and the horizontal integration of knowledge among diverse non-experts. The primary analytical payoff of this model is that it provides a clear rationale for variation in the norms and institutionalization of representative behavior. Sometimes a delegate-like approach is the right one, and sometimes a trustee-like approach is better. The key determinant is the effect of these models on the epistemic quality of outcomes under different circumstances. Toward the end of the chapter, the model is applied to the present revival of populism and considers its implications in that context.
