OBJECTIVES
----------

At present we all witness a great worldwide social experiment where
different models of manufacturing are competing with each other.
There is a growing gap of performance between a small number of
pioneer manufacturers substantially renewing their factories and
mainstream businesses still following rather traditional perspectives
of rationalization. In the car industry, the new system of "lean
production" is spreading in different countries, and in the centres
of European mechanical engineering, "anthropocentric production
systems" are emerging.

These observations clearly indicate that the contemporary factory
is at a crossroads. The successful innovators, having implemented
the new models of production, are able to achieve quantum leaps in
economic performance and competitiveness with respect to productivity,
lead time or innovation capability. The lessons that can be learned
from their strategies and practice show that development and
comprehensive use of human abilities, skills and expertise have
become the most crucial factors for economic success. The role of
humans and the functions of technology in manufacture are shifting
weights.

This situation is also mirrored in the 73 papers to be presented
at the Third International Conference on Human Aspects of Advanced
Manufacturing and Hybrid Automation held in Gelsenkirchen, Germany,
on August 26 - 28, 1992. The objective of this biennial conferences
is to provide an international forum to promote, exchange, and
disseminate information on human aspects of advanced computerized
manufacturing and hybrid automation - integrating human skills and
machine performance for productivity, quality, flexibility and safety.
It reflects the variety and complexity of problems which are inherent
in the design, implementation and management of advanced manufacturing
systems. It brings together the different views from various
disciplines such as engineers, computer scientists, sociologists or
labour scientists.
