The human implications of Advanced Manufacturing Technology are critical both for the people and organizations concerned, and for the effectiveness of new systems. This book covers systematically a wide range of human issues including: the planning and implementation of AMT; work system design; selection and training; supervisory roles; organization design; industrial relations; societal implications; and research and development needs for the future. The contributors, drawn from the UK and USA and all internationally recognized experts in their own fields, relate real problems to conceptual issues in ways topically relevant to both theory and practice. This will be an important book for advanced students, researchers and professional psychologists in industrial psychology/human factors, and engineers concerned with man-machine systems.
