● Furthermore, the production line of Barilla had a long setup/change process and was highly automated as well. The manufacturing sequences of pasta production made it very difficult and cost prohibitive to produce particular types of pasta that were out of stock because of unexpectedly high demand. The temperature and humidity in the kiln had to be precisely specified for each size and shape of pasta and had to be tightly controlled to ensure that quality was maintained.This procedure limited the ability to rapidly shift production between different pastas. So it could not afford frequent changes to fulfill sudden demands.So ,if the forecast is unreliable, they would either need to build up huge inventory or lose the customer fill rate, none of them is favorable. Also, the Barilla customers will face stockout due to the low fill rate of Barilla.

The major reason for EBP becoming so widely used is because there is a big deficiency in research-based information to back up clinical decision making (Legg, 2008, p.469). Increasing healthcare cost, treatments, and care due to population aging can be another reason for the boom in EBP (Xiaoshi, 2008, p.6-12). If procedures are done just because that’s the way they have always been done and not because of the research that backs it up, a big problem can occur. Ineffective care is very costly for both patients and health departments, due to patients having to stay in the hospital longer, more procedures being done, and more tests being performed. Health departments have been encouraging the development of EBP so the most effective health care is being used and so the best benefits come out of it (Xiaoshi, 2008, p.6-12).
This interfacing can be difficult between legacy systems and an ERP system since they may use quite dissimilar technologies. Another consideration in adopting an ERP system is the cost. ERP systems are very expensive and require considerable consultant time to configure for your specific company, which also adds to the cost.

Immigrants experience many difficulties navigating the complicated bureaucracies that interfere with obtaining health care. Even when there are low cost or free services available for these populations, the red tape involved often proves to be too much, and people go without care. Language and other cultural differences present another obstacle to both access to care and to developing relationships between patients and providers. For the uninsured or underinsured health care is simply too expensive and therefore out of reach.
