Identify five ways in which IT and IS might improve Akosua Textiles Ltd.'s operations.
Question
a) Akosua Textiles Ltd has grown from a hand weaving “kente” factory to a modern textiles and fabric processing company with shops spreading across the country. The company faces a lot of system challenges, and the Board appointed a systems expert to conduct a review of systems and technology within the company.
The findings of the expert were:
- The systems are generally weak and the benefits of modern software applications are lacking.
- The accuracy and completeness of information received by head office from shops need to improve.
- The existing financial system is struggling to cope with the rapid growth of sales.
- Common computerized stock records will also be required for proper inventory management and control.
- Internet possibilities are being missed and there is no virtual network.
