The Integrated Manufacturing System (IMS), Group Technology, Numerical Control, and Computer Aided Design (CAD) were four outstanding innovations that were one-time milestones of scientific industrial management. This book describes the expectations and disappointments of the common pitfalls of these ingenious ideas, which leads to understanding of their gradual disappearing, and proposes a way to restore these methods for long term utility and value.
The first three innovations dominated the industry till the mid-1970s. Surprisingly, the reason for them being replaced is the same: research of the “routine” was misleading regardless of its ingenuity. In the fourth case, CAD does not support CAPP (Computer Aided Process Planning) and thus Numerical Control could no longer support developments of a system such as a flexible and automated factory. However, they incorporate many features in a specific resource instead within a manufacturing system. CAD technology and machining centers remain remarkable as a specific (unique) manufacturing resource. This work proposes ways to revive these innovations for the future.
Innovation is a driver for the development of new products and production methods. It should be an integral part of a system and not pursued for its own sake. This volume shows, explains, and remedies this by treating these interesting examples.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
整合製造系統（IMS）、群組技術、數控（Numerical Control）和電腦輔助設計（CAD）是四項卓越的創新，曾經是科學工業管理的里程碑。本書描述了這些巧妙想法的期望與失望，以及它們逐漸消失的原因，並提出了一種恢復這些方法以實現長期效用和價值的方式。
前三項創新主導了工業直到1970年代中期。令人驚訝的是，它們被取代的原因是相同的：對“常規”的研究無論多麼巧妙，卻是誤導性的。在第四種情況下，CAD無法支持電腦輔助工藝規劃（CAPP），因此數控無法再支持如靈活和自動化工廠等系統的發展。然而，它們在特定資源中整合了許多特徵，而不是在製造系統內。CAD技術和加工中心作為一種特定（獨特）的製造資源仍然是卓越的。本書提出了未來復興這些創新的方法。
創新是新產品和生產方法發展的驅動力。它應該是系統的不可或缺的一部分，而不是為了自身的目的而追求。本書通過探討這些有趣的例子來展示、解釋並補救這一點。
