Publisher: McGraw-Hill, 1994

This work addresses the needs of managers from a wide range of disciplines with responsibility for the implementation of integrated business systems within a manufacturing company. It is designed to help support and underpin the decisions that such managers will have to take. Although many technical aspects of systems integration are covered, the primary objective is not to attempt an in-depth investigation into the technology used but rather to cover the process by which management can make the most of the technology available. Coverage includes an examination of existing systems and the evaluation of organizational needs, implementation and post-implementation issues, including security, personnel and legal implications. The book brings together technology and management issues in an accessible format.
