Unit 29 Computer Integrated Manufacturing System（ 计算机集成制造系统） Definition of CIM 计算机集成制造的定义 Computer integrated manufacturing or CIM is the term used to describe the most modern approach to manufacturing. CIM是一个术语，用来描述“计算机集成制造”这一最先进的制造方法。 Although CIM encompasses many of the other advanced manufacturing technologies such as computer numerical control (CNC), CAD/CAM, robotics and just-in-time delivery (JIT), it is more than a new technology or a new concept . 尽管CIM涉及到计算机数字控制、计算机辅助设计与制造、机器人技术、准时生产等其他先进制造技术，但它的意义远超出了新技术、新概念的范畴。 在it is more than a new technology or a new concept中，代词it指的是CIM；more than意为“远不止于……”。 Computer integrated manufacturing is actually an entirely new approach to manufacturing or a new way of doing business. CIM实际上已经成为一种全新的制造方法或贸易方式。 To understand CIM, it is necessary to begin with a comparison of modern and traditional manufacturing. Modern manufacturing encompasses all of the activities and processes necessary to convert raw materials into finished products, deliver them to the market, and support them in the fields . These activities include the following: 为进一步了解CIM，有必要从现代制造业与传统制造业的对比讲起。现代制造业涉及到产品加工、市场营销、现场服务的所有活动与过程，这些活动包括： (1) Identifying a need for a product. 确认对某产品的需要； (2) Designing a product to meet the needs. 设计满足要求的产品； (3) Obtaining the raw materials needed to produce the product. 获得生产工件的原料 (4) Applying appropriate processes to transform the raw materials into finished product. 使用正确工艺把原料加工为成品 (5) Transporting product to the market. 把产品运送到市场进行销售； (6) Maintaining the product to ensure a proper performance in the field. 保养产品，确保现场使用性能。 This broad, modern view of manufacturing can be compared with the more limited traditional view that focuses almost entirely on the conversion processes . 与广义的现代制造业相比，传统的制造业几乎完全集中在产品的加工过程上。 句中的that focuses almost entirely on the conversion processes为定语从句，修饰traditional view；conversion processes是指将原材料加工成成品的“加工过程”。 The old approach separates such critic
