Abstract
The objectives of this paper are to show the evolution of CIM Systems, mainly in the Western Countries from the end of the seventies till now and the influence of the economic situation.
At the end of the seventies, the development of CIM was push by the technology. The result was a high level of investment and a low level of return on investment. The reason was mainly the inadequacy of the proposed solutions in comparison with the requirements. At the end of the eighties, the new economic situation changed the attitude: a contrario from the previous one, the problems pull the technical solutions in the factory combined with a reorganisation of the physical flow in order to introduce the Just In Time philosophy. Today, again due to the world wide facilities, we see a new paradigm : the Global Manufacturing in terms of market and of production of goods.
