Integrated Quality System in Computer Integrated Manufacturing

Since the quality activities is through out the product whole life-cycle, the quality management should be a integrated quality system, facing the product life-cycle. In CIMS(Computer Integrated Manufacturing System), with the assistance of computer and its relative technologies, IQS(Integrated Quality System) can integrate the quality management technique cells into an organic whole, then the quality management will be more coherent and efficient. In this paper the concept, features, components and functions of IQS are been discussed and the key technologies are pointed out.
