LINKAGE

CIMLINC's family of LINKAGE solutions represent a unique approach to business process improvement. These solutions are "process-ware" - designed for the sole purpose of speeding and improving production and design processes without lengthy and expensive implementation of data conversion. Because these solutions speed and improve design and production both significantly and quickly, they offer demonstrable economic return - often in a matter of a few months. These standard, "off-the-shelf" solutions include LINKAGE Shop View, LINKAGE Shop Floor Workflow, LINKAGE TQM-9000, LINKAGE Process Planning, LINKAGE Concurrent Engineering, LINKAGE Engineering Change Management, and LINKAGE Non-Conformance Management.

LINKAGE solutions are built using CIMLINC's LINKAGE tools. LINKAGE is a 4GL application development package, providing high-productivity data integration, automating the creation, maintenance and distribution of manufacturing information. LINKAGE retrieves text, graphics and database information that is stored in networked, heterogeneous computing environments. LINKAGE maintains live data links creating real time product and process interaction. Application data can be accessed bi-directionally wherever they reside.
