Abstract: Today's factories have been aiming to fully automate production processes; however, the number of factories depending primarily on manual work will also be increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to develop management methods which both effectively use production facilities and provide job satisfaction for workers. This paper introduces the management structure for human-oriented production systems and explains how to assign jobs in such systems. The proposed structure includes two technologies: a factory communication network using the active database system and a dynamic scheduling method to guarantee the workers' satisfaction. The active database system is used to gather real-time information on the floor and deliver ongoing schedules to workers in order to collect their response for dynamic scheduling.

Keywords: human-oriented; production system; system architecture; dynamic scheduling; active database; working satisfaction. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
