IT is at the heart of successful enterprises worldwide, and manufacturing enterprises are no exception. The use of the computer has had a positive impact on manufacturing engineering in many ways. Computer Numerical Control machines (cnc) typically replace or work in conjunction with some existing manufacturing process.

Today's manufacturing enterprise, whether it produces
consumer goods or weapons systems, must often juggle a
range of conflicting demands. Smaller lot sizes, increased product flexibility, higher product quality, decreased delivery time, and smaller profit margins are typical of the ambitious goals in many such organizations. Through it all, the enterprise must consistently aim for the five R's-- produce the right product, with the right quality, in the right quantity, at the right price, and at the right time-- and it must do more than satisfy its customers; it must delight them. Correct and timely information is key to meeting these goals, and information technology-- database management systems, enterprise resource planning systems, and simulation and computer-aided design tools-- has become indispensable to most manufacturing enterprises. Although its role in manufacturing has been more to support processes, IT is evolving to become a catalyst for process and product change. In this case study, an apparel manufacturer used a modeling framework developed by Georgia Tech to implement multiple IT solutions. It was then able to rapidly shift production resources between two separate product lines. IT is at the heart of successful enterprises worldwide, and manufacturing enterprises are no exception. Terry Manufacturing, the case study for this article, successfully implemented its IT strategy, thereby enabling itself to effect a significant transformation in operations and remain in business as a viable and reliable model supplier to both the defense and civilian markets.
The use of the computer has had a positive impact on manufacturing
engineering in many ways. Engineering is a term applied to the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study, experience and practice, is applied to the efficient use of the materials and forces of nature. The term engineer denotes a person who has received professional training in pure and applied sciences. The first and biggest positive impact on engineering has been the use of Computer Numerical Control machines (CNC); computers were first introduced to these controls in the early 1970’s. CNC machines typically replace or work in conjunction with some existing manufacturing process. For example before CNC machines a person using a drill press to machine holes would have to do a lot of work for themselves. They would have to place a drill in the drill chuck is secured in the spindle of the drill press. They can then select the desired speed for rotation, and activate the spindle. Then they manually pull on the qu...
