The
Benefits of Lean IT in Manufacturing
Applying lean to IT can mean better performance, less stress and
significant cost savings.
A conversation with Ryan King is peppered with terms
like kanban, kaizen, process improvement and cycle count. Not unusual
for a plant manager, but King is director of information technology at
ARPAC, a packaging machinery manufacturer based in Schiller Park, Ill.
And like his counterparts on the shop floor, King is intent on using
lean concepts to improve ARPAC's performance.

A
Framework for IT Investment for Manufacturing
Executives
Executives feel vulnerable to three technology-enabled threats:
a)shift in customer expectations to a better or differentiated offering,
b) significant changes in product and service delivery costs and c)the
emergence of new products or services from competitors.
Information technology is changing the competitive
dynamics in the manufacturing industry. For example, manufacturers are
using technology to improve their operational efficiency and use it to
put pricing pressure on their competition; or significantly improve
customer service and use it to steal market share from the competition;
or identify new business opportunities before anyone else and use it to
grow their topline.
