The Importance of Information in the Supply Chain Information is important because it provides the facts that supply chain managers use to make decisions. Without information, a manger will not know what customers want, how much inventory is in stock and when more products should be produced and shipped. In short, without information, a manager can only make decisions blindly. Managers must understand how information is gathered and analyzed. This is where information technology comes into play. Information technology serves as the eyes and ears of management in a supply chain, capturing and delivering the information necessary to make a good decision. For instance, an IT system at a personal computer manufacturer may help a manager analyze the information and recommend an action. The manager can use the remaining chips first, then look at demand forecast, and determine whether to order more chips. There are four reasons why timely and accurate information has become more important for effective logistics system design and operations. First, customers recognize information about order status, product availability, delivery schedule, and shipment tracking as necessary elements of total customer service. Then, managers realize that information can be used to reduce human resource requirements. What’s more, information increases flexibility with regard to how, when, and where resources may be used to gain strategic advantage. And finally, enhanced information transfer and exchange capability using the Internet is changing relationships between buyers and sellers and refining channel relationships.

Murphy&39;s Law suggests, "If anything can go wrong, it will." Murphy has motivated numerous pearls of wisdom about projects; machines, people, and why things go wrong. A project is a [temporary] sequence of unique, complex, and connected( )having one goal or purpose and that must be completed by a specific time, within budget, and according to ( ).Project management is the( )of scoping, planning, staffing, organizing, directing, and controlling the development of an acceptable information system at a minimum cost within a specified time frame. Project management is a cross life cycle activity because it overlaps all phases of any systems development methodology. For any systems development project, effective project management is necessary to ensure that the project meets the deadline, is developed within a (an) ( )budget, and fulfills customer expectations and specifications. Corporate rightsizing has changed the structure and culture of most organizations, and hence, project management. More flexible and temporary interdepartmental(不同部门间)teams that are given greater responsibility and authority for the success of organizations have replaced rigid hierarchical command structures and permanent teams. Contemporary system development methodologies depend on having teams that include both technical and nontechnical users, managers, and information technologists all directed to the project goal.

Most companies expect IT (Information Technology) managers to head an IT staff of computer technicians. But IT managers can also specialize in other areas. Some managers may also be responsible for keeping their company’s Internet safety. They protect both their company and their online customers from thieves.
Other managers focus more on the business rather than the technical part of computing. They become project managers, helping companies reach as many online customers as possible.
Some companies also look for IT managers who can act as trainers. These trainers help a company’s computer technicians keep up-to-date on computer skills.
Most companies require their IT managers to have both a bachelor’s degree and some experience in the computer field. Often, companies hire IT managers out of their existing staff of computer technicians.
Since IT managers are extremely important to companies’ success, it’s no surprise that they receive such high salaries – around US $56,000 a year to start with. And, in such a fast-changing field,
managers’ salaries usually increase after only a couple of years.
The world will be watching to see just how quickly e-commerce replaces the old ways of doing business. And as computers change the way the world does business, IT managers will be in the middle of it all. Few companies can survive without them.
Besides being the leader of computer technicians, IT managers are also expected to be ________.
(A) experienced product designers
(B) skilled online technicians
(C) doctorate holders
(D) online safety specialists

I'm Michael Bush, Managing Director of Hoogle Engineering. I am pleased to welcome you here to our website and I'd like to tell you a little about the company and its organization. Hoogle Engineering was set up in 1960. It was divided into several departments at that time, such as the sales department, marketing department, and production department. Lots of managers were employed to manage it all.
Fortunately things are different now. Sixty people are employed by Hoogle and communication between departments is considered to be one of the most important aspects of the business. The market is global so we need to make contact with customers worldwide, not just locally.
But in the old days we were all in different departments and never spoke to each other. We had a tall structure. Traditionally we had people at the first level on the shop floor, manufacturing products according to the instructions which they were given. Then you had a supervisory level of people who supervised them every day. Then you moved up to the middle management, who were doing the tasks of getting new business, and then you had the senior management team, and then you had the board, who decided the business strategy. So there were a lot of levels in the company in the old days actually.
The structure today is that we form. teams within teams to place people who can manufacture a product. Each team has members that can manufacture different products. The actual teams now are self-managing, so we don't even have team leaders. You've got the teams, and then you've got two people, only two people, who are what you think of as management. This is generally called flat structure.

A. the nineteenth century
