Abstract
Markets today offer a variety of enterprise information
systems for manufacturing industries. These systems are,
in many cases, independent solutions without any
communication links between. In global business, where
SMEs in the manufacturing industry today are deeply
involved, the requirements for information-sharing
increase. Information should be seamlessly available 24/7
for enterprises as a whole, as well as for individual
employees' needs. SMEs are facing the challenge that they
need a common ICT solution for supporting their business
functions; however, the applications available on the
market are too complex for the purposes of an SME, and
any tailor-made solution tends to be too expensive for
SMEs to afford. The challenge has been the motivation for
this research and development project, which aims to
develop a supply-chain oriented information platform for
SMEs in the manufacturing industry. This paper describes
the business and technological requirements from the
point of view of everyday business of an SME in the
manufacturing industry.
