Frederick Winslow Taylor, the father of Scientific Management emphasized the use of assembly lines in production and Henry Ford made assembly lines the most popular means of production. The times have changed ever since and there has been a massive proliferation in the products that are available in the market. The market itself has become a Consumer’s market and not a Buyer’s market like it was in the early part of the last century. Assembly lines are much more flexible and highly automated today. This has made the process flow more complicated and more difficult to manage. Modern management methods like customization and delayed differentiation have further increased the need for process automation.
The degree of automation required depends on the type of product and the growth of process technology. Computer Industry has experienced a rapid change in its environment ever since the advent of the first computer, the ENIAC. Packaging industry has also experienced changes in products and technologies but at a much slower rate. The automation thus required in the above mentioned industries varies proportional to the degree of change they are subjected to. Most modern organizations wish to acquire higher automation. But such automation is easier said than done.
Proper analysis of the process and the ability of automation to be updated as technology changes are very important in an automation decision. Leading Edge automation can be achieved only when the process is automated in entirety, which includes all components, tools, equipment, factory production line and human beings. A unique platform is required to achieve automation by bringing all the above-mentioned factors together in harmony. This however is a task best performed by automation experts, decisions related to automation should be taken based on facts and decisions based on pure managerial whims should be avoided.
