DATABASES IN THE CEREAL INDUSTRY
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Today's manufacturing facilities bare scant resemblance to the labor-intense factories of previous eras. Production plants are often extremely clean with few humans present on the factory floor. Much of the work is done by robots or machinery, and computers are responsible for monitoring quality, output levels and safety indicators. Increasingly, the computer systems that are present in the manufacturing facility are being tied into inventory systems that have long been found in the warehouse. Common databases are used to help companies forecast demand, determine production levels and facilitate shipping. This has led to a new type of workerùthe knowledge workerùwho relies on technology and computers to complete tasks that used to require only a forklift and a clipboard. This research considers how information technology systems in generalùand databases in particularùare used in the cereal manufacturing industry with an emphasis on examining the role of databases within that environment.At Jordans Cereals in the United Kingdom, the production facility has been automated for many years. However, the company faced delays and problems with production when the production line would be halted due to a problem with the machines. Often, the problem would not be identified early when it was more easily fixed and would instead escalate to the point that the problem became more severe, more costly to fix
