The Effect of ICT on Business Manufacturing The widespread use of computers in homes, schools and businesses only really began about 20 years ago. Also companies around the world have an Internet based, financially self-supporting marketplace for business information that is needed by small scale manufacturing enterprises. of raw materials, procedures for accessing utilities such as water, electricity etc. The modern Information is provided on sources and prices manufacturing industry is being dramatically changed by developments in microelectronics providing, inexpensive, reliable, and sophisticated control systems. This, together with developments in communications, means that highly complex automated …show more content…
Different types of Software: Computer Aided Design or CAD, is used to produce drawings usually with dimensions. The drawing can be a building, floor plan, entire assembly of a product to be manufactured, or a detailed drawing of a single part to be used by the machinist for manufacturing. Computer Aided Manufacturing or CAM, is the use of computer systems to plan, manage and control the operations of a manufacturing process though the companies production resources. CAM systems use CAD drawings; the user only needs to specify materials and tool paths from an existing data base and the CAM system will create a specific NC program to control the CNC machine tool that produces the designed part. Benefits of Software The CAD software is also a great program because it is also used for geometric modelling, engineering analysis, design review and optimisation and automated drafting. Computer aided design (CAD) is widely used in the watches and clocks industries to improve speed, accuracy and efficiency in the production process and reduce time and cost in product design. In particular, the use of 3-Dimensional …show more content…
This is because the businesses who do have access to ICT mainly produce their goods in bulk, which means they produce a lot of goods at a time to meet the demands of the customers. For example in businesses who produce Coca Cola they use sophisticated machinery in order to produce 20,000 bottles per hour. However for the businesses also producing Coca Cola but had restricted access to ICT then they would be lucky to produce 200 bottles per hour. This is due to the fact that their employees, which nowadays would be produced by robots, would have to due this intensive labour by hand, therefore decreasing production and increasing the space for errors. It also increases the costs of planning and manufacturing so that expenses for the business would be maximized. Not keeping up with technology leads to people being disadvantaged socially, in education and in employment in many ways such as; not being able to access the huge range of information available over the Internet or on CD-Rom and
Adopting the latest technology helps firms to gain advantage in the competitive environment. It is important to adopt new tools in order to improve the quality of work and reduce the risks associated with the work. Implementation of a new process or a tool is often cumbersome for the companies but with proper planning and resources in hand and the zeal to accept innovation, companies grow technically and technologically. In the AEC field, we saw many firms still hand drafting 20 or more years after CAD became the new drafting standard in the mid-1980s. The pressure to switch often came from colleagues and collaborators and became necessary as firms using CAD no longer found it viable to work with firms still hand-drafting (Epstein, 2012). Similar is the case today where the incorporation of BIM is becoming popular amongst the organizations. In order to stay afloat, companies must implement the use of BIM.

Ten years ago, the Internet as we know it hit screens. It was 1995 when Explorer and Netscape emerged as the leading browsers for Internet users. Of course, a lot has changed since the days when it took several minutes to load one Web page. Today, URLs are as common as phone numbers for most businesses.
In the beginning, businesses used information technology for automating the processes primarily to reduce labor costs. Subsequently, information technology is used for delivering information with speed and accuracy.
Today, Information systems have come a long way in creating new services and provided solutions and a better chance for certain issues facing automobile industry. Automobile Industries have taken advantage of this to bring into more desirable and excellent operations, improve value to their products and to their customers, as well as enable new business standard, style and image. In this research paper, we will explore the use of Information Systems in vehicles, the arrangement of Information Systems to sustain business operations of manufacturers, and the effect of doing so on automobile industries.
My overview of Sew What? Inc.: The Role of information Technology in Small Business Success case is about an entrepreneur by the name of Megan Duckett. In 1992 she opened her cutting, sewing, and Fabric Company. The company centrally located in her kitchen, which expanded to her garage.

Firstly, technology has made life easier for human kind in terms of education and work. Ever part of people’s daily lives is linked to technology in one way or the other. It just makes life easier and things quicker. Technology advances make people see how processes can be made actively and efficiently (Lynda Moultry Belcher, n.d.). For instance, by technological improvements of computers, nowadays, education has greatly enhanced. Students are able to learn and take exams by sitting and home and simply using their laptops or computers. This could highly help disabled people, children who live very far away from any school and who are living temporarily abroad. Other than homeschooling, nowadays technology ...
Computer integrated manufacturing is a relatively new technology arising from the application of many computer science sub disciplines to support the manufacturing enterprise. The technology of CIM emphasizes that all aspects of manufacturing should be not only computerized as much as possible but also linked together via a computer communication network into an integrated whole. In short, CIM has the potential to enable manufacturers to build cheaper, higher-quality products and thus improve their competitiveness.
In this write up the focus is mainly on e-business. It consists of critical discussion and analysis of the impact of adopting e-business orientation. It also contains relevant information on the current state of e-business market.
Society has been impacted both negatively and positively by technology. As a result, every aspect of our lives has been influenced by technology. Hence, life is easier, yet it has taken away some of the enjoyment. For example, remember the days of less stress and more personal interaction, when there were no online messages, no emails, social media or cell phones. We have become excessively dependent on technology. As a result, we need to rely less on technology even though it has made learning fun, and business, daily tasks, work, travel, shopping, making new friends and staying in touch easier. In conclusion, technology has a lot of benefits, yet it could take over our lives and become our worst enemy if we aren't careful.
