IBM's disk manufacturing plant at Havant in the UK used BPCS for many years.In fact they are still using BPCS though they are no longer IBM (hived offand now Xyratex), and they use our BPCS Archiving software too!

It's been a year since I was at Rochester but when we were there we were

informed that all IBM worldwide manufacturing facilities (i, p, x, z,etc.)

were running on iSeries bunkered in Rochester.  The manufacturing software
was MAPICS.  I think it was running on a cluster of 3 systems - failover,
global usage, etc.

Al,

Isn't Rochester still using MAPICS?

Don in DC

Thanks to personnel turn-over, I am getting some magazines at the office
that former co-workers used to get.  One of them is Manufacturing

Business

technology Magazine www.mtbmag.com whose October issue has an article

page

24 on what software is used by companies like IBM to run THEIR
business.  You guys probably familiar with this stuff, but it was news to
me what software IBM uses.  (Hint, it does not come from IBM.)
* SAP R/3 for ERP
* i2 Technologies for $45 billion Supply Chain

The article does not talk about, but we suspect for IBM web design
* Latest crud, quality not important
