CALS—提高世界竞争能力的战略措施

近年来,美、欧、亚等技术发达国家的政府和工业界正携手研究推广一项叫做CALS（ContinuousAccuisitionandLife－cycleSupport）的工业发展战略措施。CALS主要含义是指：在产品的全寿命过程中,各环节和有关单位综合利用网络、数据库、多媒体等先进信息技术,各种业务和技术信息数字化,并采用统一交换和共享标准,通过网络或其他计算机信息介质,对需要传递共享的技术数据,实现业务和技术数据一次生成,多次传递使用,以此减少重复工作,提高效率。

CALS-Strategy to Meet the Global Competitive Economy

CALS,Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle, is a government and industry strategy in many developed countries intended to meet the challenge of today's competitive global economy in recent years. CALS is used as one way to reduce the life-cycle cost of a product, improve product quality and put the product into the market as soon as possible. Using CALS, the date created once can be used many times in the life-cycle of a product through using national and international standards, "reengineering" business process,and applying the advanced information techniques, such as network, database technique,and multi-medias.
