Abstract
The success of Indian manufacturing in meeting the global competition will depend on its readiness to move itself from a protected domestic to world-class global manufacturing status quickly and confidently. The present paper aims at exploring the current status of IT applications and management practices in manufacturing in India; examining the discrepancies with world-class practices; and identifying important issues which need to be addressed in order to facilitate strategic use of IT in manufacturing. The findings of the survey are somewhat alarming and they show that fragmented information management systems may not enable Indian manufacturing companies to deliver superior value to their customers and to lead them to world-class status. They must, therefore, direct their IT initiatives towards agile manufacturing rather than introducing IT to merely enhance their operations in a conventional manner.
