Workshop on Application of Computer Integrated Manufacturingin Improving Shipyard Material Flow; New Orleans, Louisiana;August 1991

制造技术的发展使得像造船业这样的专业行业能够采用计算机集成制造（CIM），通过对材料采购、工作流程、调度和装配过程的集成控制来降低生产成本。考虑到目前美国与海外劳动力成本的微小差异，这些CIM的收益可以为美国造船厂赢得国际市场的利基。为引入CIM奠定基础。这个为期一天半的研讨会将讨论行业的实际问题和研究议程。

Developments in manufacturing technology now enable specialized industries such as shipbuilding to adopt Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) to realize lower production costs by integrated control of the material procurement, work flow, scheduling and assembly process. Reflecting on the small differential presently found in the United States versus overseas labor costs, these CIM gains could capture an international market niche for the United States shipyards. To develop a basis for introducing CIM. This one and half day workshop will discuss both practical problems and a research agenda for the industry.
