Читать книгу Complex Decision-Making in Economy and Finance - Pierre Massotte - Страница 46

Computer technologies and the Internet have brought about two major advantages:

 – the consistency, uniqueness and coherence of databases: relevant information is managed, updated and immediately available wherever it is located; it comes from a single and close virtual system;

 – the drastic reduction in transaction costs: information processing has become accessible to everyone regardless of complexity;

 – openness to the world: an industrial company can find a solution or part of a solution (knowledge, algorithm, component, assembly, production site, etc.) at the lowest cost anywhere on the planet and negotiate its acquisition.

These properties are those that we classify under the headings “lean” and “agile manufacturing”.
