What is CABE?
Finally, we would be remiss in our editorial duties if we didn’t trot out at least one new acronym that we encountered at AUTOFACT ’96. Thanks to Jay Ramanathan of UES Inc. (Dublin, Ohio), a manufacturer of hand-held and laptop computers, we can now include computer-aided business engineering, or CABE, which represents the integration of product data management (PDM), project management and workflow technologies. The goal of a CABE environment, according to Ramanathan, is to be able to relate specific PDM, project management and workflow services to specific tasks without programming being required. CABE research is funded in part by the US National Industrial Information Infrastructure Protocols (NIIIP) consortium.
