Some of the difficulties are due to the fact that CIM \u2013 in the current form \u2013 is not able to adequately address knowledge management and concurrent engineering (CE) issues. Also, with CIM, it is not possible to solve problems related to decision and control even though there has been an increasing interest in subjects like artificial intelligence (AI), knowledge\u2010based systems (KBS), expert systems, etc. In order to improve the productivity gain through CIM, EDS focused its information technology (IT) vision on the combined potential of concurrent engineering (CE), knowledge management (KM) and computer\u2010integrated manufacturing (CIM) technologies. EDS \u2013 through a number of IT and CIM implementations \u2013 realized that CE, KM and CIM do go hand\u2010in\u2010hand. The three together provide a formidable base, which is called intelligent information system (IIS) in this paper. Describes the rationales used for creating an IIS framework at EDS, its usefulness to our clients and a make\u2010up of this emerging IIS framework for integrated product development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/02635570010349104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,28]],"date-time":"2002-07-28T18:52:34Z","timestamp":1027882354000},"page":"301-316","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Converting computer\u2010integrated manufacturing into an intelligent information system by combining CIM with concurrent engineering and knowledge management"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"Biren","family":"Prasad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022021720223333400_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abdalla, H.S. and Knight, J.
