Question 1: (5 Marks)
Consider a garment manufacturing company is newly launched and wants to introduce IT infrastructure in the organization. Suggest what IT infrastructure will be required for the company to fulfill its requirements.
Solution:
Infrastructure, generally, is the set of interconnected structural elements that provide the framework for
supporting the entire structure. It usually applies only to structures that are artificial. The term is used
differently in a variety of fields; perhaps the single most well-known usage is in economics, where it refers
to physical infrastructure such as buildings and roads.
The notion that a structure has an internal framework is popular especially in business organizations where
a dependency on interconnected information technology systems has become as prevalent as a city's
dependency on interconnected conveyance systems for power, people and things. Information
infrastructure consists of the physical facilities services and management that support all computing
resources in an organization. There are five major components of infrastructure
1- Computer hardware
2- General purpose software
3- Networks & communication facilities
4- Databases
5- Information management personnel
6- Each of these components is designed in such manner to collectively meet the needs and
objectives of the organization.
The infrastructure will include
1- The detailed configuration of the hardware
2- Design of the operating system,
3- Documentation of the operational and application software, and
4- Documentation on how to technically manage and operate the entire system
5- Infrastructure also includes the integration, operation, documentation, maintenance and
management
the components as defined in infrastructure.
• It is guideline to how specific computing resources are arranged, operated and managed
Question 2: (5 Marks)
Is Just-in-time (JIT) approach helpful in reducing the production cost in any manufacturing organization? Justify your answer with suitable reasons in either case.
Solution:
The main benefits of just in time manufacturing system are the following:
1. Funds that were tied up in inventories can be used elsewhere.
2. Areas previously used, to store inventories can be used for other more productive uses.
3. Throughput time is reduced, resulting in greater potential output and quicker response to customers.
4. Defect rates are reduced, resulting in less waste and greater customer satisfaction.
