Abstract
The importance of materials management systems (MMS) is critical for an asset managing organization because of the role that these systems play in asset life cycle management. However, it is essential that these systems acquire, exchange, and process quality information. It is the quality of information held in MMS that eventually decides the credibility of the decision making regarding materials management, maintenance, and asset life cycle support. At the same time, asset management paradigm has moved toward mobile environment, where the demand of practitioners is that of real-time operation and availability of information. Information quality (IQ), however, has a number of technical, organizational, and people components. Each of these components affects the various IQ dimensions, such as accuracy, consistency, timeliness, and ease of operation. In order to improve IQ, it is important to know the relationship of these dimensions with the characteristics of the system. Therefore, this paper categorizes IQ dimensions according to the requirements associated with major functions of mobile MMS and identifies the types of IQ dimensions that are the most relevant in mobile environments.
