John Bessant and Bill Haywood

European Management Journal, 1988, vol. 6, issue 2, 134-142

Abstract: Considerable interest has been shown in computer-integrated systems as a means of dealing with some of the competitive challenges facing European manufacturers in the 1990s. In this paper, John Bessant and Bill Haywood review some experience with one example of such technology-flexible manufacturing systems - drawing particularly on research in the UK, the Federal Republic of Germany and Sweden.
