Introduction

In line with this discussion, I choose to discuss Toyota Company as a large company that makes use of different information system technology. In line with this discussion, I will support the multiple operations systems and oppose the single system. It will be important to have the full explanation as to why I prefer the multiple operations system.

In Toyota Company, the company has employed the use of multiple systems in their operations. The system allows many users to use the system at the same time. This is referred to as the ability of multi-tasking the various activities in a given computer. The users in this can also increase the possibility of making more uses at the same time while allowing them to use the same resources. In a multiple operation system, the users can share the resources well without having to eliminate any user from the system. The process of resource sharing is economical to the entire since there are many people. By comparing a single system with a multiple system, it is evident that the single system does not allow sharing of information or resources as one uses a given computer to execute their duties. The process of executing these activities on one computer is uneconomical and leads to losses to the company in the end. As evident in Toyota Company, the costs of maintaining their information system infrastructure is reduced (Cadle, 2014).

In addition to this, the multiple systems in Toyota Company help to save on space. The reduced space is based on the fewer number of computers in the company. If the company was using a single system, then the number of computers would be high hence no saving on nay space. The space that Toyota Company saves can be used for other activities hence increasing the efficiency of their operations. In the case of a multiple system, an organization is assured that there is quality and efficient production. It takes place since the people can share resources hence save on time (Peterson, 2012). The increased quality of production under the multiple systems is essential at improving the network systems of the company. The improved structure is very important as it can lead to a higher yield in revenue in additional to the increased benefits in the system of Toyota Company. In a single operation system, this is not possible since there is no sharing of resources hence leading to poorer results in the end. Hence, Toyota Company really benefits from the multiple operation systems.
