Corporate learning is more than just an IT or training issue. The author describes how it permeates every level of the successful modern company. Knowledge and experience acquired in one part of a company should be shared with the other parts. This requires suitable corporate organisation. It is helped by a suitable IT network, but that is no good without a holistic approach. - Author(s): D. Thompson and D.R. Hughes

Presents a method for the design of computer integrated manufacturing systems, based on an innovative systems architecture to support a holistic approach. The system should demonstrate high visibility of customer need and focus on satisfying that need. A manufacturing enterprise can be considered as a set of goal-seeking subsystems, which interact in purposeful way to meet customer demand. The holonic paradigm uses the most successful systems known, i.e. biological systems, as the metaphor for designing computer systems. Biological systems consist of many cooperating autonomous subsystems working towards the ultimate goal of survival-not unlike the manufacturing enterprise. A manufacturing enterprise and its CIM system can be considered as a network of semi-autonomous subsystems, which communicate with each other to pass on instructions or pass back information. Each of these subsystems is working to satisfy the supply=demand equation. - Source: Manufacturing Engineer, Volume 77, Issue 3, p. 120 –121

In the consideration of experiments, it is not enough for industrial engineers to study the effects of process inputs in isolation; one also needs to understand the interactions between different parameters. The article presents a technique for achieving this. - Source: Manufacturing Engineer, Volume 77, Issue 3, p. 139 –143

The author proposes a method of achieving open control systems which, he contends, could replace the PLC. It uses IEEE1451 as a truly network-independent standard for transducers and associated networks implemented on volume hardware. A combination of chip vendors and board vendors supplies a variety of markets. JDC/IDC is used for the strategy engines running on chips and boards based on Web technology. Microsoft standards are used for a development environment and for supervisory functions. Operator screens based on Web browser technology are used. The underlying theme should be objects. As for the actual hardware to implement these standards, the fieldbuses at present define hardware: however, people are starting to mix and match. The new RISC machines, found, for instance, in the handheld devices, provide excellent cost-effective vehicles, and mezzanine standards are emerging. Associated flatscreen technology is providing good cost-effective methods for operator displays. - Source: Manufacturing Engineer, Volume 77, Issue 3, page: 147 –147
