Abstract

This article examines the potential benefits and limitations of computerization in manufacturing along with some of its requirements and economic effects. It explains why this enormously powerful technology-probably the most important contribution to increasing the productive efficiency of a wide range of manufacturing industries over the next decade-has developed and diffused so slowly. This article then discusses the problems of transferring various levels of computerization to other domestic and international plants.
