| Abstract: | A stage model of the evolution of manufacturing from craft systems, to industrial systems, to the emerging post industrial manufacturing enterprise is described. In the industrial system paradigm manufacturing is viewed as a functional area where technical transformation processes convert raw materials into finished products. Within this paradigm, models of the changing nature of manufacturing emphasize technical/economic changes, and ignore corresponding patterns of change in social, work, and control systems. In the post-industrial paradigm, manufacturing is viewed as an enterprise with employees and customers. Manufacturing becomes a complex customer-oriented network of value adding activities. |
