AROnline article - Why British Leyland built BL Systems

Post by GTiJohn »

This is the first part of a 3-part story of how BL Systems emerged to bring order, systems thinking and modern computing to Britain’s largest car maker.

Fascinating stuff!

Yes interesting article. I left an aerospace company 5 years ago and they still didn't have a planned co-ordinated system working through from design to manufacture to sales. So BL certainly did a good job starting this back in the 70's
