TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the important factors that significantly influence the balanced development of advanced manufacturing systems, such as quality of human decisions, artificial intelligence support and a socio-technical design approach.
Abstract: Manufacturing companies are having to compete in a more and more global market. Continuous quality improvement, a reduction in product price and production series shortening have become necessary in order to be competitive. In such a situation, the development of production systems is necessary. This can only be done via the development of all manufacturing system elements such as production methods, machines, process, control and information systems. One important part of manufacturing systems that is very often not appreciated enough is the human being. This paper focuses on the changing role of managers and machine operators. Problems regarding quality of human decisions, artificial intelligence support and a socio-technical design approach are discussed as well. The aim of this paper is to present the important factors that significantly influence the balanced development of advanced manufacturing systems. The article is the result of a research project focused on improving the cooperation between machine operators and technical systems in manufacturing companies.

Abstract: Lean production, which has revolutionary production management and practice manner, is the third milestone ofhuman industrialization history. Its key point is to eliminate waste in all aspects of a firm’s production activitiesthrough establishing production system with high agility. It represents the tendency of modern manufacturingindustry. It has been credited as the standard production management approach in the 21st century. Leanproduction, as an advanced production manner, has important realistic meaning for improving manufacturing’sproduction and management level of China at present, and swelling competitive ability of Chinese enterprises.As the current biggest ‘Manufacturing Center’ in the globe, it’s especially crucial for Chinese enterprises to learnthe philosophy of lean production and its impetus for their development.
