Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate to investigate the effects of cloud system on the efficiency improvement and cost-saving of production processes. It also tries to provide small- and medium-sized companies and IT practitioners with a practical guideline for a successful implementation of could systems. Design/methodology/approach This study was conducted by observing and analyzing a case of implementing a cloud system at a small-sized company having multiple job sites in terms of the improvement in data-sharing efficiency and cost-saving of production processes. Findings This study found that cloud system was an effective way of sharing data between and among production processes of geographically scattered job sites and thus, helped the company to remedy problems of work schedule and load-balance along sequential production processes. Cloud system also allowed the company to reduce the number of visits made by 3-inspectors to four job sites by 75% and the personnel cost related to inspectors' site visit.
