Review QuestionsRecent years have witnessed an increase in the use of information technology in manufacturing, so much so that it has rapidly permeated the organization at every level. Consequently, there is a growing need for those related to or interested in manufacturing to understand the nature of this technology and the way it can best be used to increase competitive advantage, hence the profit. This book is a contribution towards better understanding of information technology and information systems and their application in manufacturing. The main feature of this book is that it addresses information systems and its application in manufacturing with a view to improving the competitive advantage. It offers fundamental understanding of information technology and underpinning principles, but also practical issues related to its implementation and operation. Additionally, the material is structured such that the reader is taken logically from basic principles to practical issues of information systems. Yet, chapters tend to be sufficiently independent making the text suitable for those with particular interestElectronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsManufacturing processesData processingIndustrialistsInformation resources managementIndustrial managementData processingManagement information systemsElectronic books.localOriginal18571803139781857180312(DLC) 2003447119(OCoLC)49873013Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9781857180312An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for informationPublisher descriptionhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0616/2003447119-d.htmlTable of contents onlyhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0616/2003447119-t.html.b1365422603-03-2224-01-08991003242669707536Manufacturing information & data systems1212773UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engenk00
