Development of Information and Communication Systems within the Building of Project-Oriented Manufacturing Organization

Abstract

Project management (PM) has become a managerial discipline which is an inevitable prerequisite of managing modern business organizations, especially manufacturing ones. When applied properly it helps organizations to cope with permanently changing environment predominantly represented by customers, suppliers, competitors, and public authorities. Development of the project management methodology leads to increasingly effective implementation of strategic changes which is fundamental for being competitive on the marketplace. This PM development is in the center of building project orientation of an organization. But, developing just PM without development of overall organizational culture leads to low effectiveness of projects implemented in the organization. That is why development of projects and project management should be supported by development systems and areas of activities such as communications, knowledge, training and development of employees, and development of organizational standards and norms. The article focuses on the area of communication by using Business Intelligence systems. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2014.
