Information Technology for Manufacturing

A Research Agenda

(1995)

This book describes a vision of manufacturing in the twenty-first century that maximizes efficiencies and improvements by exploiting the full power of information and provides a research agenda for information technology and manufacturing that is necessary for success in achieving such a vision. Research on information technology to support product and process design, shop-floor operations, and flexible manufacturing is described. Roles for virtual manufacturing and the information infrastructure are also addressed. A final chapter is devoted to nontechnical research issues.

Contributor(s): National Research Council; Computer Science and Telecommunications Board; Committee to Study Information Technology and Manufacturing
