Abstract: Computers are being used to generate and process data for improving the company's profitability and productivity. Computer applications depend heavily on how effectively computers are integrated within the firms. Industries can integrate computers in a more efficient way by using McKinsey's 7S framework as a guideline. A case study of computer integration using McKinsey's 7S model in the foundry is presented and explorative use of simulation software in the foundry is also analysed.
