Q: WHY WAS YOUR COMPANY LOOKING TO CHANGE ITS MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS?
A: Ilford’s tradition, going back 120 years, is very firmly in the photographic market, but that is now dying. It’s being replaced by digital technology, which has produced a whole new customer base, a new way to market and a different cost structure for our products.
During the 1970s and 1980s, Ilford had become a very country-based organisation, so that in each country where we had facilities, there was a separate IT group plus all the skills necessary to maintain and develop applications.
