Abstract :
CAD frameworks fall naturally into use in a CIM system because of their ability to integrate the work of design and production engineering teams. This paper describes how a CAD framework forms the backbone for supporting design and planning activities in the facility level of a CIM implementation. The data management capability of the CAD framework serves in a limited way as a product data manager for the enterprise and it plays a major role in linking the facility level to the shop floor level .
