AIMS is a flexible manufacturing system for the production of aero engine disc components. These are the high value, rotating components which require structural integrity together with a high degree of precision during the manufacturing process. The prime objective for the project was to cut operating costs and lead times and to reduce the value of work-in-progress to a level which would enable cost savings in inventory to finance the project capital cost. The paper details concept strategy, examines equipment requirements, implementation aspects and computer hardware/software support.
