Abstract :
The strategic application of the computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) technology can markedly improve manufacturers´ product quality, responsiveness to customers, process control and flexibility, and flexibility of capital investment, all determinants of global manufacturing competitiveness. Companies need to reach customers or suppliers anywhere in the world to develop the network of global alliances and partnerships among businesses. This paper addresses new challenges in moving the CIM to a global marketplace
