Comparison of a Preferred and Actual Method of Selecting and Implementing Computerised Control Systems in a Manufacturing Environment

Abstract

The failure rate for the selection and implementation of computerised control systems in manufacturing companies continues to be unacceptably high. This document researches the reasons for this problem and then continues by highlighting new important issues and providing an implementation methodology, which gives a practical guide to an implementor. The document concludes by presenting a series of brief case studies of situations where the new methodology has been applied. The research is based upon the practical experiences of a teaching company scheme.
