Abstract
The problem of a product‘s life cycle against R&D time has occurred due to changes in the behavior of customers. One possibility how to solve this problem is to use Information technologies and the concept of CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) that considerably reduces R&D time, production time and the time to market. The CIM conception is based on the utilization of single modules (CAx systems) in the Design and Production planning area, manufacturing area (CAD/CAPP/CAM) and others, integrated together into one functional unit.
