Description: To compete successfully in the global environment, companies have been encouraged to      implement information technology as well as other technologies. The premise is that better      information will result and that this will lead to improved decision making. This research      examines the planning and control of operations in three organizations. Each of these      organizations in the computer industry faced serious pressure to improve or else.      Operating managers responded by implementing networked computer systems, total      quality management, just-in-time, electronic data interchange, and other information      systems. Significant improvements in design, quality, manufacturing cycle times, inventory      control, space utilization, and delivery were reported....
