MANUFACTURING & PROCESS CONTROL: Embedded Systems (Revised 10/22/97)
===============================================================
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.

Today, even "Year 2000 conscious" manufacturers may face substantial problems in bringing their products to compliance.

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...

Control systems in power plants,T&D, and offices all depend on "embedded software" that might fail at the turn of the century. This "Year 2000 Problem" is quite different from the well-publicized Y2K problem in utility business software applications running on mainframe computers. The impact of embedded systems failure, while not known, could potentially be severe and widespread.
