12) In 2003, Singh Manufacturing implemented a Web-based information system that allows
all employees to access mission-critical information. The intention was to increase production
efficiency. Unfortunately, it had the opposite effect, as deliveries fell behind schedule and
costs increased. Shaman Gupta, the director of information technology services, asked Ashlee
Wells to come in and talk with him about the system. Ashlee is a long-time employee of
Singh, and her opinion is valued by her peers and by her supervisor.
"So Ashlee, how's it going down there in the shop?"
"Not so good, Shaman. Used to be we got a weekly pick list so we knew how to plan
production. Now, we got that computer system. Most of us can't figure out how to use it to do
our jobs. Is there some way to print out a pick list?"

Shaman thought for a while before responding. "Well, Ashlee, to tell you the truth, I'm not so

us build the system. Maybe they can help."
