Manufacturers’ main targets (high productivity, high quality and low costs) are found in a complex economic environment demanding flexibility and spirit of adaptability. The achievement of these goals is strongly dependent on the logistic technological architecture making up the planning stage, which regulates the production process. First, the internal framework of Danieli & C. Manufacturing Department is described, and the main functions and tasks of the various divisions are pointed out. A perspective based on CAM is adopted, since the CAM division plays a central role in this structure. The present situation is then compared to the CAPP approach. Finally a CAD/CAM 3D integrated approach is proposed for a marginal field.
