factors that contribute to manufacturing cost?
to create a product inline with price, function ability, and strength - Answers What is the
importance of a material and process selection criteria?
any manufacturing process which creates an object in its finished form without the need for
finish machining or other actions. Special Characteristics. The obvious benefit is in the saved
labor needed for finishing, and the consequent cost savings. - Answers What is Net-Shape

Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) is the manufacturing approach of using computers
to control the entire production process. This integration allows individual processes to
exchange information with each other and initiate actions - Answers What is CIM?
