Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is the process of automating various functions in a manufacturing company (business, engineering, and production) by integrating the work through computer networks and common databases. CIM is a critical element in the competitive strategy of global manufacturing firms because it lowers costs, improves delivery times and improves quality.
The CIM curriculum uses a task-based design where theory and hands-on learning activities are structured around industry-relevant tasks.
