CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1     BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON ANAMMCO

The Anambra Motor Manufacturing Company (ANAMMCO) is a joint venture between the federal government of Nigeria and Daimler Benz AG/ Mercedes Ag of Germany.

Mercedes Benz (MB) Anammco Limited was incorporated on 17th January 1977, and the new plant was commissioned on July 8th, 1980 by the First executive president of Nigeria, Alhaji Sheu Shagari.   It started official production in 1981, and has to date made an enviable mark on the nation’s industrial growth, adding over 20,000 vehicles to the nations transport sector, backed up effectively with a network of over 36 after-sales service points and spare parts supply depots.

MB-ANAMMCO manufactures commercial vehicles and leads in the production of both private and commercial vehicles in Nigeria.   This plant which occupies a sprawling 300,000 square meters site at Emene, near Enugu is virtually a shining example of a profitable and viable economic and technological co-operation between the government and people of Nigeria and Germany.

The multi-million-naira plant was initially planned to produce trucks for the Nigerian market.   But today, the plant has diversified its production range to include the full range of commercial and private vehicles for the rapid industrialization of the country.  It not only produces trucks as originally planned but has gone a step further in fabrication, manufacturing, and production of buses and other utility vehicles.  Part of its product range today include; MB 0131, L 608 D, MB 1520, MB 230, MB 500 SEL, MB 1414, MB 911, MB 809, fire fighting vehicles, ambulances, mobile clinic collector and other various specialized types of vehicles.  The company has expanded its bus programme to start producing a new intercity bus (MB 1635).  It should also be noted that the MB-ANAMMCO has achieved over 657 local consent in some of these vehicles, especially in buses.

As a formidable representative of MB-A in Nigeria, MB-ANAMMCO brings mecedes-benz technology and know-how to Nigerians while at the same time create over 800 employment opportunity for Nigerians.  Indeed, the establishment of MB-ANNAMMCO marked the realization of a great dream of developing the country technologically and industrially.

MB-ANNAMMCO has actively participated in the federal government assisted mass transit programme.  It has supplied over 800 units of different bus models to the federal urban mass transit agency and state and local government mass transit programme.  These buses are still strong and very capable as they are supported by the unbeatable after sale s services of the company and their renowned distributors and dealers.  Only recently, the company was invited to produce 700 additional mass transit vehicles for the country to oushion the effect of the increase in the price of petroleum products.

Training facilities/opportunities centre were commissioned in April 26, 1982, sales, services and spare parts training for their staff and staff of their distributors, dealers and fliet owners.

MB-ANNAMMCO continues to live up to its social responsibilities in all ramifications.  It takes care of its 800 employees by offering them medical services, recreational facilities, etc.  In addition, it occasionally donates to charity organisations and identifies with the government in its socio-cultural endeavours and community development projects.

1.2 JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT

Computerization or computer-based in this concept means the introduction of the computer to the different aspects and levels of the company.  Rather than looking forward to handling information from, messenger – supervisor – maintenance- engineer- manager- expatiate manager –General manager – Board of Directors, this approach is necessary because computer is nearest to information systems.  Not only that, it yields better results because a better information system normally improves organizational result.
