Document Summary

From chapter 3: determine competitive strategies, create processes to achieve strategies. Systems must be related to organization"s strategy. Labour-saving devices: computing payroll and writing checks. Facilitated work of single department or function. Next step: functions added to calculation system programs providing more value, e. g. Islands of automation: effective as independent functions. Inefficient working in cooperation with other processes across entire business. Basic types of functional systems: marketing and sales systems. Assess: effectiveness of marketing messages, advertising, promotions. Computer stocking level and reorder quantities from previous data. Manufacturing-planning systems: bill of materials (bom) List of materials that comprise item to be manufactured: schedules equipment, people and facilities, ability to show labour and equipment requirements. Manufacturing-scheduling systems: generate master production schedule (mps) Analyze past sales to estimate future sales: three philosophies. Organization creates schedule and pushes good through manufacturing and sales. Material requirement planning: materials requirement planning (mrp) Plans needed for materials used in manufacturing: manufacturing resource planning (mrp ii)
