Understanding the IRM/MRP AnalogyInformation Resource Management is the design, development, implementation,
and control over all of the resources needed to produce information. Its
intent is to share and re-use resources where appropriate. Sharing
represents the interchangeability of resources, thereby promoting the
standardization and integration of parts in products. By doing so,
development time and costs are reduced by simply re-using parts.
To those of you in manufacturing, this will all sound very familiar

Creating an Information FactoryIt is possible to employ the same concepts and techniques as
used in mass production towards the development of information

"Information Factory" based on other engineering/manufacturing
disciplines.
