Automation in the workplace: an Australasian perspective
Article Abstract:
The study investigates the approaches utilized by eighteen companies from Singapore, Korea and Japan with respect to automating their operating processes. The inquiry reveals that firms hoping to derive competitive advantage from automation adopt an extensive worker involvement program and implement the measures gradually. The study further points out that companies use meager production techniques to improve the operation of automated manufacturing systems, by placing greater stress on the automation of the process rather than on automating existing processes.
