Are you feeling that companies don’t like this? Yes you are right. This is a latency in the production. Company has got the order and why it is waiting to start the production. Now at this stage I, as the production manager really don’t want to waste my precious time. I want some thing automated. I want to start the production as soon as I get the order. Now at this stage we need the definition of second term, the Automation. Automation can be defined as the process of taking a manual process and applying technology to it. We take the process of organization ‘s workflow and try to apply technology to it. What is required? Yes you are right. Only a computer software which enables production department staff (in our example) to see that an order has been received with the following specification plus all the required information needed by the production department to start work on it and that’s it. Now u can fell how efficiency will improve by the company. Their production will increase which definitely will increase its revenue.
It is really a very small example of WAS capabilities. In actual WAS contains enormous capabilities which every organization wish to have. As mentioned before WAS generic implementations are coming in the market and vendors are taking serious interests in it but we hope organizations will realize the importance of time also take hurry to deploying this emerging and exciting technology.
