LAN

LAN Local Area Network or LAN is a computer information system used to enter, store, retrieve, and evaluate data in a localized area. Examples of a localized area would be a college campus, a hospital, a large insurance company, a bank, or a production manufacturing facility. I will present a LAN in a production process. The LAN is driven by a mainframe computer, connected to personal computer workstations throughout the process. Process parameters, characteristics, and test results are entered into spreadsheet software in the workstation computer. The data is stored on the mainframe computer that works like an additional hard drive. The data is then accessible and retrievable to the support team for evaluation and trace ability. The advantage of the LAN is timely data entry data, computer, process, lan, entered, stored, results, production, mainframe, files, team, support, spreadsheet, parameters, manufacturing, localized, information, drive, area, workstations, workstation, works, widgets, trace, timely, throughout, tested, test, system, substrate, store, specifications, software, shipping, share, retrieve
