Abstract
Twenty years ago, when the third generation of computers was being introduced, the concept of total Management Information Systems (MIS) was conceived. The theory of MIS was to collect all the information a business used and make it available to all who needed it. Following MIS came Production Information and Control Systems (PICS) or Communication-Oriented PICS (COPICS) and many other names and abbreviations. All these systems were information systems using the computer as a number-cranking machine, for storage and retrieval of information. The starting point was the production engineering field’s accepting the basic data of Bill of Materials and routine as constraints without questioning how and why they have been established and how real and efficient they are.
Gideon Halevi is also author of Chapter 6. His biography and photo appear on p.77
