IPC “The coordination of all resources involved in operating a<br />
manufacturing business with the objective of insuring the most<br />
efficient use of, <strong>and</strong> maximum effectiveness of, all inputs to, from, <strong>and</strong><br />
between the manufacturing processes.”<br />
Total quality management is a critical aspect of effective factory<br />
integration.<br />
The roadmap stresses the importance of self-directed work teams,<br />
training <strong>and</strong> education.<br />
Another critical element of factory integration is systematic<br />
benchmarking process. However, the roadmap notes the electronic<br />
interconnection industry does very little comprehensive benchmarking.<br />
Another key element of factory integration is a strategic process for<br />
cycle time reduction (CTR).<br />
Information systems (CIM/MIS) are also fundamental.<br />
Costing systems which are used to estimate the real costs of a<br />
manufactured part could be better integrated with the manufacturing<br />
control systems that manage the series of processing steps that add<br />
value to a part.<br />
EDI Systems which can provide enhanced communication with<br />
business partners by replacing traditional paper order processing are<br />
not commonly used in the interconnect industry.<br />
Also stressed are manufacturing control systems, tooling systems,<br />
modeling <strong>and</strong> simulation systems, <strong>and</strong> process control systems.<br />
(continued)<br />
IPC Improved factory automation is also essential to factory integration.<br />
Automated material h<strong>and</strong>ling systems eliminate the need for manual<br />
intervention for the conveyance of product through the manufacturing<br />
process. Automated process control <strong>and</strong> monitoring systems utilize<br />
electronic sensors that monitor process variables <strong>and</strong> convert the level<br />
of measured variable into a proportional electrical output. Integration<br />
of the process control system with the manufacturing<br />
control/information system allows the automatic storage <strong>and</strong> retrieval<br />
of processed data <strong>and</strong> part-specific information.<br />
The roadmap stresses the need for improved leadership/management,<br />
strategic planning, <strong>and</strong> better finance/accounting procedures, including<br />
activity-based costing.<br />
