Use Of IT In A Manufacturing Company
Question
The Vice President of Manufacturing and Logistics of the LockStep Manufacturing Company has read Nicholas Carr’s article in the Harvard Business Review: “IT doesn’t Matter”. He is impressed. LockStep is under cost pressure and is short of funding for projects to renew and upgrade manufacturing facilities. The VP Manufacturing is competing for funds with the CIO. The CIO has budgeted for maintenance, equipment and several new development projects. The VP wants to buy new manufacturing equipment, upgrade operating practices and improve quality.
As the CIO, respond to the arguments of Carr as a counter to the Manufacturing VP. You should identify Carr’s specific arguments. Your response should be addressed both to the Manufacturing VP and to the CEO of LockStep. This means you should not only respond to criticisms of IT as described by Carr, but identify IT enabled upgrades to manufacturing. You should also explain the corporate benefit from IT enabled business opportunities. Your case should be structured to demonstrate benefits to LockStep of sustaining the IT function. Remember the CEO has responsibility for corporate profitability.
Summary
The question belongs to Corporate Strategy and it discusses about the use of IT and ITES or IT enabled services in a manufacturing company and how IT can be used for increasing production. These arguments have been put forth in the solution.

The love for statistics has developed since my childhood. As a child, numbers always fascinated me and that is why right out of high school I opted to study undergraduate statistics. Initially I couldn’t keep up with the topics and was very desperate for expert help. TheReliableTutor.com with its online tutoring and assignment help services has helped me to reach my goals.
Steve Connor Student
I was really stuck with the analysis of a work of William Faulkner in the final year of my course and then I approached HwA and got excellent response. Later that year, I also took their help for writing the book review of Booker’s Prize winning novel “God of Small Things†for my college.
Beth Parsons Student
I had a very bad calculus background and for that reason I was unable to deal with the difficult sums given in the process control assignments. However, luckily for me I came across HwA and since then, never had to worry about these assignments any more.
Jon Owen Student
The care and patience with which the online Labor Economics expert at HwA guided me through the assignment topic was simply amazing. She was always ready with the solutions to my queries and incorporated any suggestions that I made into the Labor Economics Assignment essay. It was just the guidance I needed to write my Labor economics assignment.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
