An intranet is a mechanism for sharing information and delivering data from corporate databases to the local-area network (LAN) desktops. Intranets use Web technology and are restricted networks that can enhance communication and distribute information.The types of information that can be accessed on an intranet are in wide range.
Much information relevant to managing the production of a particular job is available on-line to managers. From contract information and technical specifications to cost budgets, actual costs incurred, and stage of production measurements, data are instantly available to managers. As data input functions are automated, the data available on the Intranet become more and more up to the minute, or real time. Later in sometime we will discuss more fully the automation and integration of information systems.
In any job order costing system, the individual job is the focal point.
