Can anybody answer the following?

One aspect of the Tpro story is the claim that the yr 2k business will dramatically improve future prospects for the core business.
And one facet of that is the claim that it will allow or help Tpro awaken the business people to the value of the information that exists at the shop floor level.

Here is the relevant quote from the last conference call.

"A: JJ - Yeah, the projects that will evolve out of this, it'll be a triage
effect of what do I have to fix now, what can I Band-Aid, limp across the line and fix later on. The other part of this that we keep coming back to is that the forcing function of Y2K is that the business system people will be awakened to the value of the information that exists at the shop floor level, the control there, and there'll be a lot of work done, we believe, to pull that information up into the business systems, which is a theme we've been pounding for years and
hasn't previously been well received. So the whole Y2K experience is going to open that up dramatically as well."

Does anybody understand this? What information from the shop floor?
Give a couple of examples.

How would that be helpful?
Give a couple of examples there.

And also how would that information be presented?

Does Tpro have software which incorporates that information into some sort of business analysis package, supply chain analysis?

Why hasn't this idea been well received?
It seems to me that businesses are hungry for anything which will improve their productivity.
