MANUFACTURING: Embedded Systems Revised 10/20/97 *Manufacturers may be the least prepared for third-party year 2000 failures.* They depend on parts built and assembled by suppliers, who in turn rely on other suppliers. A supply-chain failure could occur if just one supplier cannot produce a part because of a systems failure. Programmable logic controllers, robotics, paint and steel mixing, production scheduling, bill of material, and just-in-time inventory systems control synchronized production environments. A system failure could result in multiple plant closures and massive layoffs. techweb.com Industry's embedded systems to be hit hard by Year 2000 It is thought that industry will be hit hard by the millennium problem as entire manufacturing planning systems will have to be replaced as well as thousands of embedded control systems.Upgrades are not possible in many cases as systems have been heavily customised. Replacement may be the only solution in cases where the original supplier no longer exists. tagish.co.uk Embedded Industrial Control Systems and the Year 2000 Problem compinfo.co.uk List of Items in Office, Manufacturing, Medical & Home compinfo.co.uk Manufacturing System On-Line Magazine *Information Technology for Manufacturing Managers* Main Site: manufacturingsystems.com Y2K Specific: manufacturingsystems.com
