Abstract

This Industry Measure/TWGA special report examines the current state of computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) in the U.S. printing industry.

Data are analyzed in light of related technology, such as "networked digital infrastructure" and "building a JDF workflow." The report also includes detailed data on respondents' attitudes toward, and current levels of adoption of, CIM taken from the TWGA's 2004 CIM report.
