Abstract
The present communication structures of many organizations are governed by extensive manual information transfer, long processing times and receptive recording of data. The introduction of computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) has the aim of integrating administrative data in manufacturing data, that is to say, the operational EDP-systems of all company sections will be-as far as possible-cross-linked. Existing data can be used by all departments of the company for administrative operations, due the cross-linkage of data transfer. In this way, recording and processing errors will be avoided or minimized. Transition from information processing to professional (expert) systems requires new and more efficient forms of an employee-oriented work organization.
