“…Therefore manufacturing organisations must provide the appropriate support systems and infrastructures to facilitate this. It is believed that an integrated tool set based on a sound methodology associated with some effective processes will facilitate the systems innovation (Lyons, 1997). Systems Innovation Manager (SIM) is a software tool which, not only allows an organisation to encapsulate an ever growing body of human know how, but also increases corporate transparency.…”

Manufacturing organisations are continuously innovating their systems and processes in order to survive in today's turbulent environment. There are currently a number of software tools available on the market, which can help managers and decision makers innovate their systems. These tools range from sophisticated modelling and simulation tools to project management tools. Each tool has their own unique selling propositions, specialised capabilities and relative strengths and weaknesses. However, most are operated by a single user and require a considerable amount of expertise. This paper highlights features found in some of these tools and used in organisations to facilitate systems innovation. It examines a sample of tools that are currently available and finally, it introduces a new software solution called Systems Innovation Manager (SIM). SIM is based on a collaborative approach to planning, implementing and managing innovation in a systems environment. It is an integrated system consolidating strategy, people and project related issues.

“…In a sense, this change in emphasis for governmental agencies is not surprising. From the early 1990s, through the methodology of business process reengineering, the private sector has ‘led the charge’ away from the traditional hierarchical structures imposed through a century of scientific management and functional thinking, towards an emphasis on creating processes that ‘cut across’ functional silos and deliver value to customers, and information technology plays a vital enabling role in these organizational transformations (Lyons, 1997). A number of approaches have assisted this migration, for example, methodologies such as six sigma, described as ‘total quality management (TQM) on steroids’, which provide outward‐looking tools, such as ‘voice of the customer’, that capture important objectives, and champion the requirements, of the end user (Stamatis, 2004).…”

“…Information about customer requirements used to be captured in aggregate long-range forecasts shows that companies are still dominated by function-based software development approaches, despite their accumulating experiences in the advancing techniques of supply chain management [25]. This indicates a gap between the way business processes are being redesigned and the approaches used to develop supporting information systems.…”

This paper presents a case study conducted in a semiconductor manufacturing company concerning information systems planning in the context of reengineering business models for elogistics. A framework based on business process reengineering (BPR) is described. To enhance BPR efforts, the benchmarking technique is introduced as an analysis tool for redesigning business models. The framework emphasizes the reengineering of business models for e-logistics through value chain mapping and analysis. It also takes into account the unique possibilities of legacy information systems architectures, thus further advancing the value of a company's past investment in information technology.
