From the supplier: The Internet has had a significant impact on the manufacturing industry. It has made customers more demanding in terms of product quality and delivery. Because they can compare the product offerings of different companies on the network, they are more able to discern which manufacturer has the best offer. Consumers are less tolerant of late deliveries and imperfect goods. In such an environment, manufacturers should be able to provide available-to-promise capability that improves production, distribution, transportation and materials management in real time. Another way that the Internet is impacting business is the increasing practice of outsourcing to a third-party, which the Internet is facilitating. This enables companies to shed non-strategic business functions and focus on their core capabilities. Manufacturers can succeed if they establish collaborative relationships with other organizations.
