Abstract
Management information system consists of three factors; technology, engineering and management. Traditionally, administration has been recognized as the activity on two-dimensional plate constituted from technology as static managerial resource, and engineering as knowledge to produce the artifacts. The manufacturing in the industrialized society was achieved by elemental technology, hardware and experience/intuition of peoples. However, the manufacturing in the information society needs to be accomplished by systems, software and theory. This paper suggests that Japanese manufacturing has to build up management capability to make skillfully use of elemental technology, hardware and experience/intuition of peoples.
