THE DEMANDS OF MANUFACTURING GLOBALIZATION ON THE SYSTEMS MANUFACTURERS USE TO COLLECT, PROCESS AND ORGANIZE DATA WILL FAR OUT DISTANCE THE SPEED AND CAPABILITIES OF THE SYSTEMS THAT WERE GENERALLY USED IN THE 70S AND 80S. SYSTEMS IN THE NEXT DECADE WILL EXPAND BOTH HORIZONTALLY AND VERTICALLY FASTER THAN EVER BEFORE. AT THE SAME TIME THAT HARDWARE SPEED AND CONNECTIVITY ARE EXPANDING, SOFTWARE IS DEVELOPING A NEW LOOK AND FEEL THROUGH COMPLETELY NEW PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENTS AND USER FUNCTIONALITY. THIS PAPER EXPLORES THE CHANGING MANUFACTURING ENVIRONMENT AND THE CHANGES TAKING PLACE IN THE SYSTEMS ENVIRONMENT TO SUPPORT GLOBAL MANUFACTURING.
