| Description: | Multimedia case study by by Chetan S. Sankar P.K. Raju of Auburn University. "Keisha Lewis, the product manager for the Y-Series engines at Yuquiyu Motors (YM) was involved in a serious discussion with Jim Smith, the IT Manager. The company had started on the product development of a 13 horsepower cool-bore (aluminum) engine to be called Y11 during 1993. The Y11 engine did not pass the emission tests. Data confirmed that there were problems with an improper amount of oil consumption and exhaust release. The engine had to be fully redesigned and the scheduled product launch was delayed. It was now November 1998, and Keisha was given the mission to successfully steer the company through this turmoil. There was very little interaction between the information systems used by the engineering designers and the manufacturing plant. The top management tasked Keisha and Jim to find out whether it was feasible to integrate these two sets of information systems or it was better to leave them as standalone systems." The CD ROM costs $2. |
