Computer integrated and automated manufacturing systems in aircraft manufacturing†
本文讨论了小批量生产企业在飞机制造中如何通过计算机集成和自动化技术提升效率与灵活性，指出传统方法已不足以持续提高生产力。
More than ever before, the competitiveness of industrial companies with small batch production depends on their efficiency and flexibility in manufacturing, Classical methods of rationalization are available to all branches of industry. These methods still have their justification, but they are not sufficient to ensure lasting augmentation of productivity. Up to now, the productive output per employee was increased mainly by work simplification and mechanization. In order to obtain the required increase in efficiency now and in the future, automation and integration techniques have to be utilized to a higher degree.
