Human factors affecting the success of advanced manufacturing systems
SThis paper analyzes the data collected from 98 manufacturing companies to investigate the associations between human factors and the success of advanced manufacturing systems (AMS). The AMS measures and human factors were cross-tabulated and the Chi Square values were used to test the hypotheses of the study. The results show that statistically significant, positive associations exit between human factors and the success of AMS implementation. The implications of the findings to the practitioners and researchers are discussed. (C) 1994 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
