Organisational problems and issues of CIM systems design

摘要

The need for intraorganisational integration has arisen from the necessity of better co-ordination ofcomplex tasks and processes, which result from the increasing specialisation of work and thepartitioning of an organisation. There are several forms and tools of integration. The paper concernstechnical integration using information technologies (CIM). Its goal is better co-ordination of tasksand, therefore, provision of higher flexibility, lead time shortening, production costs reduction andquality improvement. Design and implementation of CIM is, therefore, not only a technical problem,but, above all, an organisational one, which has strategic impact on the enterprise. The paper willdiscuss some organisational problems of CIM design and implementation.
