Bandwidth ITM solutions address broad areas within any business; things such as manufacturing, distribution, finance and project management, as well  as service and maintenance, transportation etc. A seamless integration is essential to provide visibility and consistency across the manufacturing aspect as well. This proposal will give a clear  cut explanation of the usefulness of ITM in manufacturing companies, with special attention to the needs of the less developed countries. PROPOSAL An ITM system should be sufficiently versatile  to support different manufacturing environments such as make-to-stock, assemble-to-order and engineer-to-order. The customer order decoupling point (CODP) should be flexible enough to allow the co-existence of these manufacturing environments  within the same system. A typical example would be a company which has businesses spread over many manufacturing environments. It is also very likely that the same product  may migrate from one manufacturing environment to another during its production life cycle (Roddy 2000). The system should be complete enough to support both discrete as well as process manufacturing  scenarios. The efficiency of an entITMrise depends on the quick flow of information across the complete supply chain, that is, from the customer to manufacturers to supplier. This
