INTRODUCTIONMISM ManufacturingManufacturing is one of the areas where information systems have had the greatest impact. A typical manufacturing MIS is used to track the flow of materials and products throughout the organization. In a manufacturing process, raw materials or components are transformed into finished products, and a manufacturing MIS is used at each stage. Some of the common subsystems in a manufacturing MIS include: design and engineering, production scheduling, inventory control, process control, and quality control. This process requires a very sophisticated system for inventory and process control. The supply of components must be carefully planned in order to closely follow the assembly schedule. You cannot pile boxes of parts around the plane as it will become very messy. And you also don't want a missing part to block the entire assembly process.

Information system is also important in terms of business process reengineering (BPR), also known as business process to achieve dramatic improvements in performance (Hammer, 1990). For example, information systems in the automation of manufacturing processes in forms of computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) and related technologies such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and flexible manufacturing ( FMI) are radically changing the nature of the process subsystem and significantly impacting organizational strategies. Information systems are the backbone of this wave of automation. Information systems integrate the different components of automation to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the process subsystem. Concluding references
