This report identifies and evaluates those existing and potential standards which
will be useful to the Air Force in the development and implementation of inte-
grated computer aided manufacturing (ICAM) systems. Such systems, when imple-
mented by the Air Force and by Air Force contractors, will increase productivity
in discrete part batch manufacturing by several thousand percent. The use and

importance of standards are considered in the context of CAM systems. Since
the Air Force will develop the detailed ICAM architecture after this study
is complete, existing system concepts and architectures are examined to
identify the common elements to guide the further presentation and discussion
of relevant standards.
