While I was busy computerizing the Purchase Indent, other like minded people like Venkateswar Rao of Purchase Department, Thamendran of Finance were working on their computerization and EDP under Banerjee’s guidance, a campus wide computerization was under progress. Slowly and steadily we integrated all computerized applications and by 1989 we had achieved campus wide integration.
The system had enough checks and balances and one could generate a material requirement or initiate procurement only if the Commercial department assigns a Manufacturing Order (MO) number in the system and the Design Department creates Bill Of Materials (BOM) or Material Requisition (MR) or Device List (DL) is issued through system!
We were not aware of Material Requirement Planning-MRP, Manufacturing Resource Planning –MRP II or Enterprise Resource Planning- ERP that are happening elsewhere in the world in 1989. (I wish we had Internet then !)
