MIS vs ENG dept.
2007-12-25 8:27:00
that is best that admins doing the work mentioned below should report to
engineering since engineering understand the issues. Of course I didn't get
any responses from MIS directors either. However, even though I got less
then 10 responses it was very much a mixed bag. Some companies had admins
reporting to MIS and others to Eng. Some admins reported to neither.
So I guess it's up to us admins who don't report to engineering to educate
MIS as to where our priorities should lie. Without successful engineering
department developing product there is no need for a MIS, Sales, Manfacturing
etc. If anyone wants to see all the responses just send me mail and I will
forward them.
Thanks to all who responded.
