The impact of computers and robotics on productivity
Automation
The total or near total use of machines to do work
Robotics
The use of programmable machines to perform a variety of tasks by manipulating materials and tools
Robots work quickly, accurately, and steadily
Robots are effective in tedious, repetitious, and hazardous tasks
The impact of computers and robotics on productivity (cont’d)
Computer manufacturing systems
Computer-aided design (CAD)
The use of computers to aid in the development of products
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)
The use of computers to plan and control manufacturing processes
Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM)
a computer system that helps design products and controls the machinery in the manufacturing process
Flexible Manufacturing Systems. The flexible manufacturing system (FMS) combines electronic machines and computer-integrated manufacturing in a single production system.
Continuous process--A manufacturing process in which a firm produces the same product(s) over a long period of time .
Intermittent process--A manufacturing process in which a firm’s manufacturing machines and equipment are changed to produce different products.
Sustainability and Technological displacement
Automation cuts manufacturing time, reduces error, and simplifies retooling procedures
Many robots work with humans to make jobs safer and easier
Automation will bring change to many jobs; many workers will have to retrain or seek jobs in other sectors of the economy
