Many firms are facing the problems of decreasing product life cycle. Increasing demand for product customization and complexity along with international pressures to reduce total cost and lead times have resulted in many firms re-engineering their business processes for competitive advantage. Global competitive market pressure has also, resulted in many firms satisfying their customers with better quality product and services and that quality has been a vital aspect towards business strategy. To meet these demands, relevant and exact information is required to be readily available from many sources within an organisation.
