This paper examines and discusses the implications of a macroergonomic perspective for assimilating advanced manufacturing technological innovations into an organization's human infrastructure. A framework for integrating sociotechnical systems and advanced manufacturing technology design is presented which identifies first-and second-order effects of the new technology on the human infrastructure. The Human Infrastructure Impact Statement (HISS) operationalizes these concepts into a systematic assessment tool. This paper ends with a brief list of some of the pertinent macroergonomic decisions that a manager and a macroergonomist must consider in implementing and designing Advance Manufacturing Technologies.

The Impact

Issues of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) implementation have been extensively covered in the literature in regard to large companies; however, exclusive examination of the impact of AMT on small companies remains under researched. This examination of ten case study companies demonstrates the potential benefits of AMT use, as each of the companies achieved positive outcomes from AMT. However, the benefits achieved did not always meet the companies' expectations. Analysis of the experiences of the companies indicates the importance of considering the impact of AMT output on the manufacturing process, the levels of pre-existing AMT experience and the availability of external support mechanisms.

Ergonomic assessment of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) involves several attributes. Most of these attributes can be assessed only subjectively. Several models have been developed to assess AMT from an ergonomic approach. However, these models have several deficiencies, such as 1) assessment for all alternatives in all their ergonomic attributes should be done in a single period. It lacks time pauses when decision-makings include several decisors and alternatives, 2) every person can access the information and change it, and 3) they lack the propriety of correcting mistakes once users (or decisors) have entered an unwished data. Then, the objective of this research is to develop a software for the ergonomic assessment of AMT that deletes these deficiencies. As method, axiomatic design (AD) was applied jointly with the TRIZ methodology. Software was validated with results of a previous case study. Finally, authors developed a software that removed the deficiencies of previous models.

Cloud computing can be regarded as the integration of grid computing and virtualization technology: namely the use of grid distributed computing processing power of IT resources and build into a resource pool, plus on a mature server virtualization, storage virtualization technology make users can real-time monitoring and deployment of resources. Cloud computing and advanced manufacturing technology is facing many challenges during the process of development in the future, including security and privacy will become a primary issue. This study focused on relations with the important areas of emerging industries, the fast scheduling network resources in the cloud computing and advanced manufacturing technology key issues, as well as cloud computing security management issues related to cloud computing and advanced manufacturing technology.

Evaluation and Selection of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) is a complex problem involving multiple attributes difficult to consider in their entirety. The Axiomatic Design Theory have been used successfully to solve this problem. This chapter presents a literature review for applications of Axiomatic Design Theory in decision making and develops an Ergonomic Compatibility Evaluation Perspective case study for the selection of two vertical CNC machining centers. A new Hierarchical Fuzzy Axiomatic Design methodology was used as a decision aid for evaluation of technology in a more complete manner, while considering human factors and ergonomics aspects neglected in actual AMT evaluation and selection models. Methodology for the data analysis is described. A group of three experts was conformed for the case study. 26 articles were organized in a data matrix. The alternative which best meet established Design Ranges in terms of Ergonomic Compatibility was selected among two alternatives, according to the Ergonomic Incompatibility Content (EIC) in a fuzzy environment.
