    THE SITUATION
    History
     O'Neill & Preigh is an 800 year old
    manufacturer of church equipment

     Originally established in a small


    village on the outskirts of Rome.
    Current scenario
     They now operate out of their
    corporate offices in Lancaster,
    Pennsylvania.
     They are known as a market leader
    in both stock and custom built
    furnishings for churches of all
    denominations.
     Their quality and craftsmanship are
    undisputed as the best in the
    industry.
     They sell their products in
    international markets through their
    own sales staff as well as distributor
    channels in major cities around the
    world.
     Due to some internal & external
    problems their business has dropped
    off dramatically.
    Internal Issues
     They strongly believed on autocratic
    and centralized managerial controls.
     They focus on the highly skilled craft
    of building custom furnishings for
    which they are very proud and for
    which they are world class.
     Major consequence is poor cost
    control.
     They didn’t emphasize on efficiency
    and effectiveness.
     The computer has made little inroad
    into business operations. Their
    accounting office has computerized
    payables, receivables, payroll, and
    inventory, but little else.
    External Issues
     External market is evolving.
     The president, Del E. Lama, has just
    concluded the quarterly "State of the
    Business" meeting of the senior
    officers at which he reported that
    part of their problem is the result of
    the aggressive pricing strategies of a
    Southeastern Asian conglomerate
    that recently introduced their
    product into the American market.
     Asians do not compete on quality, it
    seems that American market is more
    price-sensitive than in the past.
     Del went to talk about re-engineering
    effort.
     He attended the Chamber of
    Commerce breakfast that week at
    which the speaker was a re-
    engineering consultant from a large
    Philadelphia firm.
     Del heard that some of his systems should
    be decentralized, also heard much about
    information technology and automated
    manufacturing.
     To spearhead this computerization effort
    he hired his grandson, Sal Vation, to join
    the firm as Director of Information
    Resources. Sal had just graduated from a
    prominent New England business school
    with an MBA in Information Systems.
