Paul F. Bestwick and A. E. Owen

Chapter 7 in The Managerial Implications of Microelectronics, 1981, pp 115-139 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Around the world, leading manufacturers are firmly established in a trend to reduce or eliminate man from the shop floor and production lines. The major reason is the realisation that man contributes nothing to the production process that cannot be done better or more efficiently by automation.
