CONCLUSION

 

    While taking the time to research the company, Space X, there is a lot we have learned not only about the company itself, but also about how the information systems contribute to the business process. It is safe to say that the company would not be so successful if it did not have the system that it currently has, from the robot-aided development of the rockets to the process of elimination on mistakes or errors. It is no doubt that the system of how Space X operates is extremely complex and each department has major contributions that are very important to the development of the company. For example, the use of CAD software, known as Finite Element Analysis, and Product Data Management software are such major parts of Elon Musk's company that are extremely hard to process. While there are not many competitors for space travel and the goal of moving life to Mars, the information systems and operational processes of Space X are far different from others and prove to be very efficient.
