12 Technology/Product Selection Criteria
13 Technology/Product Selection Criteria
Business Justification – How long is the payback period? – Are large up-front costs required? – Do costs scale with the implementation scope?
Scalability – Can technology be implemented in several locations/countries/continents? – How easily can a pilot project be scaled for global implementation? – Can technology interface with other technologies/products
14 Technology/Product Selection Criteria
Lifecycle – How long is the expected technology/product lifecycle? – Will be technology/product soon be superseded by a newer generation? – Is the technology/product backwards and forwards compatible?
Product Support – Is JTEKT in-house technical support required? – Does technology vendor provide worldwide support? – For how long in the future is vendor technical support available?
Security – Is security already designed into the technology/product? – Are additional measures necessary to ensure security?
15 Technology/Product Selection Criteria
Implementation Effort – What resources are required for the implementation? – Does the implementation interrupt ongoing operations?
Ease of Use – How much training is required to use the technology/products? – Can technology/products be used by personnel with limited technical expertise
Human Involvement – Does the technology keep humans involved in the process? – Does it aid rather than replace human decision making?
