Standards for Computer Aided Manufacturing.

Abstract

This report identifies and evaluates those existing and potential standards which will be useful to the Air Force in the development and implementation of integrated computer aided manufacturing (ICAM) systems. Such systems, when implemented by the Air Force and by Air Force contractors, will increase productivity in discrete part batch manufacturing by several thousand percent. The use and importance of standards are considered in the context of CAM systems. Since the Air Force will develop the detailed ICAM architecture after this study is complete, existing system concepts and architectures are examined to identify the common elements to guide the further presentation and discussion of relevant standards.
