Abstract
Describes the improvement of manufacturing performance in a job shop through the application of a variety of techniques such as group technology, manufacturing cells, and CAD-CAM. As well as exploring the limitations and merits of these methods, the case explores the conflict between computer-integration and shop-floor autonomy. The teaching objectives are to provide an understanding of computer techniques available in modern small-batch manufacture, sources of manufacturing improvement, and the implementation of computer-integrated manufacturing.
