Abstract
The use of computers in the management of medium and large engineering factories is well established. This paper is concerned with the development of a system of management control in a small engineering company using a desk-sized computer on site and a medium-power computer at the local College of Technology. The system, though simple and relatively cheap, provides for production control by means of machine loading charts and exception reports of jobs overdue, cost control, quality control, production statistics and bonus computation. Systems flow charts and examples of output are included. Emphasis is placed on the human aspects of implementing the system, and the immediate effects of the system on the management of the company are discussed.
