CIM and manufacturing industry in the north east of England: A survey of some current issues
Chris Kimble, V. P. Prabhu · 1988
This paper presents some preliminary results of a survey of nearly 40 manufacturers in the North East of England showing how they perceive CIM and how they are attempting to implement it. In particular it describes the views of senior executives about why they are attempting to implement CIM, what problems they encountered in doing so and what impact they believe this will have on working practices. The paper examines some of the contrasting views and opinions about CIM held by "real world" industrialists, academics and other particular interest groups.
