CGram Software is a software authoring company established in 1982. It provides accounting software, enterprise resource planning (ERP), CRM, production control and supply chain management software for small to medium-sized companies, and has a long history in the UNIX and Linux commercial world. ==History== CGram Software was founded by Emrys Jones and Terry Crook in 1982.〔(Companies House )〕 They started developing a Unix manufacturing system. Jones〔(Time for a standard Unix )〕 was at that time being actively involved with UKUUG (the UK's Unix & Open Systems User Group), becoming temporary chairman in 1982 and was Chairman of the European Unix User Group until 1985.〔(UKUUG (the UK's Unix & Open Systems User Group) )〕 CGram Software started shipping the first Unix Manufacturing system in 1984 written in 'C',〔Mini-micro systems, V.16, p116, 1983〕 being sold on Plexus and Arete machines. These were Motorola MC68000 based machines. The problem with the MC68000 was that every manufacturer had their own system of memory addressing, which made portability a challenge for software add-on vendors. To solve this CGram introduced their '68000Fix' product, which processed the relocation information in a program and converted the program to work on the required target. This allowed CGram to offer their Manufacturing system on a variety of other MC68000 systems, such as Fortune & Sperry. This system implemented a just-in-time business model with Supplier Chain management for synchronous supply in 1987. The implementation at Ikeda Hoover was the subject of a case study into manufacturing for synchronous supply in 2002.〔( Ikeda Hoover Case Study )〕 It was later extended with a full Kanban system for final assembly in 1990. In 1998 the company discontinued its original manufacturing system, developing a new ERP system with a desktop client written in Java and Swing communicating over the internet with server side software written in C. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CGram Software」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
