“…Companies began to pay more attention to the production methods and processes that had evolved gradually from the previous simple manual processes. In particular, automation emerged to increase productivity in labour-intensive industries, and led to the expansion of advanced technology for job diversification [34]. In addition to automation, the spread of microcomputers in the 1980s had a great effect on improved productivity in manufacturing and production [41].…”

This paper analysed the keywords in manufacturing productivityrelated studies over the last 30 years to consider the change in the concept of 'productivity', a longstanding and important factor in studies about manufacturing. After first identifying 110,269 keywords in related research through 11,237 academic papers, we narrowed them down to 97 in nine categories by applying certain criteria. Most of the previous studies dealt with productivity in the context of corporate data; but this study investigated the change in the concept of manufacturing productivity by analysing the keywords of many studies of this concept. We classified the 30 years from 1980 to 2009 into five eras of productivity, according to their representative characteristics, using the analysed keywords. We expect that this study will serve as a practical guideline for managers in industry, and as an academic foundation for future research into productivity. OPSOMMINGDie sleutelwoorde in die navorsingstudies oor vervaardigingsproduktiwiteit oor die afgelope dertig jaar is geanaliseer om die verandering in die definisie van produktiwiteit as konsep te verstaan. Nadat 110,269 sleutelwoorde in 11,237 navorsingsartikels geïdentifiseer is, is die sleutelwoorde verminder tot 97 wat in nege kategorieë gesorteer is. Dit is gedoen deur sekere kriteria toe te pas. Die meeste van die vorige studies het met produktiwiteit gehandel binne die konteks van korporatiewe data, maar hierdie studie ondersoek die verandering in die konsep van vervaardigingsproduktiwiteit deur die sleutelwoorde van studies oor hierdie konsep. Die tydperk van 1980 tot 2009 is in vyf eras van produktiwiteit geklassifiseer. Die verwagting is dat hierdie studies kan dien as 'n praktiese riglyn vir bestuurders in die industrie en as 'n akademiese grondslag vir toekomstige navorsing oor produktiwiteit.

“…He discusses that automation relieves alienation of factory workers. In 1976, Nitzan and Rosen [11] introduce the concept of "Programmable Industrial Automation" where they set the goal at "Computer-Integrated Automatic Factory." The trend led to the introduction of Office Automation in 80's as Gehani [12] discusses the utility of "Forms" in Office Automation.…”

ITeS is one of the key applications of the internet. It is a conjugation of technologies to adopt and respond to complexity of services demanded by postmodern society. Bridging between real and virtual has been long discussed agenda of the key element of information technology. Under the environment of Web2.0, the value of these technologies gain more importance as the notion of "real" expands its scope in both "materials" and "human" factors, and integrated to the "virtual." Likewise they are essential to the advances of ITeS. By looking at three technologies, this paper illustrates how and what future perspectives of ITeS will involve.

The modern results of artificial intelligence research have provided new techniques useful for the design of more sophisticated and advanced industrial robots. The use of computer integrated assembly systems is becoming more and more important in industrial applications.The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how with the use of an automatic problem solver it is possible to achieve the automatic emergency recovery from a failure occurring during the assembly process. An experimental computer program implementing the required problem sol;mg activity has been written in MICROPLANNER and tested on a UNIYAC 1108 compu ter.
