In the production of a part, now computers are employed in designing and production. Computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) are now common terms in industry. For controlling and production, numerical control (NC), Computer numerical control (CNC) and direct numerical control (DNC) are used. Some industry use Computer-aided process planning (CAPP). Material management planning (MRP), computer aided quality control (CAQC), flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), group technology (GT), Computer integrated manufacturing system (CIMS) etc. Productivity improvement, quality, better equipment utilization, reduced inventory, faster delivery etc. are the revolutionary things happened by the usage of computers
