CIM ImplementationCIM Implementation• In Atlas Honda CIM is implemented to

much extent & according to the needs of the organization

• Honda has integrated data and processes from major areas of an organization and unified it for easy access and work flow using ERP software.

• Integration has been accomplished by creating one single database that employs multiple software modules

• Cisco routers• Mix of switches from three vendors: Cisco,

LinkSys and 3Com• For non-critical applications,3Com switches. • Company uses an IBM RS 6000 server for

running SAP application• For Lotus Notes applications the company has opted for IBM’s servers• For WAN, Cisco Router are connected through wireless connection.

• Though, each department can access database & modules but only to the extent it has been allowed

• Data base is updated by each concerned department & every one can simply see that to get the required information

• Shops can’t start production until job order is issued to them by PPC through SAP

• At the start of month MRP is run & whole month schedule of parts needed is generated

• vendor procurement generate vendor delivery schedule at the start of each month



Some Other Elements Of CIMSome Other Elements Of CIM

• NC & CNC machines• TQM philosophy -Kaizen (continuous improvement) - Zero defect





• Atlas Honda should have strong backup facilities. The company should install an extra server as a backup. For this IBM Trivoli solution is a v.good option

• The advantage will be obtained that Even if a LAN or a switch fails it should just take 10 minutes to switch to another LAN or switch
