Abstract

Information technology companies are having to broaden their
overall strategic view in deference to the premise that it is better to
be market‐driven than technology‐led. Cost and technical performance are
no longer the only considerations, as quality and service now demand
equal recognition. The production of a high volume single item has given
way to that of low volume multiple items, which in turn requires some
modification of production systems and brings flexible manufacturing,
Just‐in‐Time production and total quality control into sharper focus for
the achievement of corporate objectives.
