Overview: Molex Inc. approaches the issue of complexity with simplicity. The maker of high-tech components can't cut down on the number of partners in its supply chain, or the processes required to run it. But it can avoid the use of multiple information systems at various locations worldwide. It's a lesson that many companies have yet to learn. It's not unusual for multiple information systems to grow up within such a complex operation. But Molex has wielded iron discipline over its IT program from the start. In 1996, it implemented the enterprise resource planning system of SAP AG in Singapore. From there, the technology was extended to more than 45 Molex plants and 17 active sales companies in 16 countries.
