Case Study
Multibase Company Limited is a diversified business group with interests in fabric and yarn
manufacturing, paper and pulp, and cement. Its eight manufacturing units are located across
the country - one for fabric, two for yarn, two for paper and pulp, and three for cement. While
the head of each unit has considerable operational autonomy, strategic decisions, considering
these units, such as capacity expansion, procurement of new technology involving substantial
investment, etc., are made at the headquarters, located in Delhi. The head quarters monitor
the performance of every unit though weekly and monthly reports are which are prepared by
CBIS installed at each unit. Often considerable amount of time of the senior executives based
at the headquarters is taken away in analyzing these reports and drawing inferences for
planning and control. The result is that the senior executives have little time for strategic
thinking which they feel is a must in the present competitive environment. The CEO of the
company has thus proposed to develop suitable computer based systems which might be
helpful in understanding the current status of various manufacturing units in terms of their
overall performance, the type of environmental constraints that operate in the three business
that exist for enhancing capacity in these business areas.

existing systems? Justify your line of action.
