Flexible manufacturing can be understood and managed even by non‐technological senior management provided they are involved in agreeing market parameters, technological flexibility needs, quality, cost and delivery performances. Abdicating the responsibility of technological decisions to lower levels of management is to be avoided. Companies aiming to satisfy customer needs by rapid response, thro...... hiện toàn bộ
Some researchers have found that unionized firms are less likely to pursue automation because high wage demands deprive them of the necessary capital required to invest in advanced manufacturing technology (AMT).
