This changes the work flow of an organization:
• Information flows seamlessly throughout an organization, improving coordination, efficiency, and decision making.
• Gives companies the flexibility to respond rapidly to customer requests while producing and stocking only that inventory necessary to fulfill existing orders.
• Increases customer satisfaction by improving product shipments, minimizing costs, and improving a firm’s performance.
• Improves decision making by improving the quality of information for all levels of management. That leads to better analyses of overall business performance, more accurate sales and production forecasts, and higher profitability.
