The race to take full advantage of technological breakthroughs in computer science and communications has forced major changes in the role of people in companies that employ, or wish to implement, advanced manufacturing systems (AMS). Ironically, as industry has become more dependent on advanced technology, human factors have become ever more critical to the success of any business venture. The implementation of new technologies requires fundamental changes in a company's mode of planning; plant organization; job design; compensation and raise policy; personnel selection, training, and...

This important work was designed as a companion volume to Organization and Management of Advanced Manufacturing. Together, these two volumes cover the spectrum of human factors issues relevant to the design, operation, and management of advanced manufacturing technology. Today, as manufacturing enterprises become more and more computerized, it is clear that their economic success will depend, to a large degree, on the symbiosis of social, technical, organizational and management, and ecological design efforts. This book reflects three major trends that have developed in this new era of...

This reference focuses on decision-making styles within cultures. It focuses on cooperative, collaborative, avoidant, competitive, and dominant styles of decision making, and discusses how each process is modified by the culture. The contributors examine issues within culture that affect decision making, such as individualism and collectivism, considered the most important influences in decision making. This reference is one of 10 predicted to be derived from the 2012 Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics (AHFE) Conference.
