| Abstract: | The postmodern factory of 1999 is specified. Its essence will be conceptual - the product of four principles and practices that together constitute a new approach to manufacturing. Each of these concepts is being developed separately, by different people with different starting points and different agendas. Each concept has its own objectives and its own kinds of impact. Statistical Quality Control is changing the social organization of the factory. The new manufacturing accounting lets us make production decisions as business decisions. The module organization of manufacturing process combines the advantages of standardization and flexibility. The systems approach embeds the physical processes in the business processes. |
