but Y2K could benefit them somewhat if old manufacturing systems are replaced with far better state-of-the-art stuff. Still, you would think good managers would already have it completed by mid 99. But I guess many might not be good.


The second part of your statement is true, but nonetheless its way to late for a y2k push for mfg enterprise software, and everyone knows it. We saw the y2k effect in mfg last year actually - there is a planning function that stretches out 18 mos routinely so in order to not see the y2k phenom in an arcane system you would have had to retrofit 18 mos ago. Some shops have a smaller planning window sure but its always at least 6 mos.

I understand it may not be too late from front office though.
