The Structure of Quality Information System in a Cc~4puter Integrated Manufacturing Envip~mment

By now it becomes a well accepted fact that computer technology can significantly improve the productivities of manufacturing systems. More and more manufacturing functions are computerized, and the results are usually encouraging. Among them, CAD (computer-aided design), for instance, is a successful example. For over twenty years, CAD applications were dominated by the aerospace industries and appeared only the rich industrial giants could afford such luxury. Now the development of microcomputer based CAD packages has popularized the use of such interactive computer graphic designs, and therefore even small firms can enjoy the benefits of using CAD in their design processes.
