So, in hand, Management Information Systems, by Hossein Bidgoli, 2015
like the above books, I think like all stuff intended for business students, mostly buzz words, quite vacuous really.
But I guess I picked up the book because that is what I want.
pg 224,
"An enterprise system is an application that is used in all the functions of a business and supports decision making throughout the organization. For example, an enterprise resource planning system is used to coordinate operations, resources, and decision making among manufacturing, production, marketing, and human resources. As you have learned in previous chapters, intranets and Web portals are used by many organizations to improve communications among departments as well as to increase overall efficiency. Enterprise systems are another way to make important information readily available to decision makers throughout an organization.
SCM, supply chain management
CRM, customer relationship management
ERP , Enterprise resource planning
I guess ERP is supposed to cover everything, current buzz word. But some are talking about ERP 2. Don't know what that means.
Of course this is all important, but I am more interested in R and D and Manufacturing. Not much talk about such in these books.
So now in hand,
Automation, Production Systems, and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, by Mikell P. Groover, second edition 2001. Groover has written lots of books.
does deal with statistical process control.
MRP Material Requirement Planning
MRP II Manufacturing Resource Planning
talks about ISO 9000
book is worth spending more time with. Not totally focused on computerized Manufacturing Execution Systems though. Lots of stuff.
Groover writes about stuff dealing with robotics in manufacturng. Clearly automatic test systems and computer run process machines fit in to this, allowing direct computer control.
Some people actually model manufacturing operations, like for example semiconductor fab. They they use that in the negotiations. In my view this is a very high power negotiating tactic and it can be extremely divisive. Designed to turn people on their end against each other. Results mixed at best.
My experience though is that in most manufacturing operations, things are very little like what it says in this book. Just way too many problems, and so much of it comes down to the people.
Talk about quality assurance issues:
Place I worked for and learned much had hired a consultant. He taught classes, he was really good. He explained much about how to avoid creating people problems and informal work around paths when you are introducing changes. As I could see, what he taught was real good.
This book is good, good to read more like it, newer ones.
So much of US business today is just bullshit.
