“…Ultimately, we believe that a technical system cannot have the final responsibility and therefore we do not expect that future factories will be fully automated without any human interference. In line with other authors (Hirsch-Kreinsen et al, 2018;Romero, Noran, Stahre, & Bernus, 2015), human-centricity should remain key in factories of the future, by taking advantage of current technological advancements to aid humans in their work As we have shown, humans will be needed to take on the final responsibility and they will remain critical in the near future especially for aspects related to innovation and overall supervision of complex automated processes. Considering that the implications of CPS for job complexity, skill variety and job autonomy are neither uniform nor deterministic, management has considerable influence on how its approaches future technological developments.…”

“…The degree of job autonomy is one of the central themes evolving around CPS and its implications for work design. The scenarios discussed in the literature describe future workers to either guide CPS, or be guided by CPS, also referred to as a human-centered versus a technology centered approach (Dworschak & Zaiser, 2014;Hirsch-Kreinsen et al, 2018;Windelband, 2014). In the first case, humans make the major decisions augmented by CPS by providing crucial and tailored information.…”

Rapid advancements in an array of digital technologies and applications promote the transformation of industrial production into cyber-physical systems (CPS). This process is projected to lead to a completely new level of process automation, thereby redefining the role of humans and altering current work designs in yet unknown ways. However, existing literature is rather ambiguous and not explicit on how the transformation towards CPS affects work design. In this study, we therefore consider this transformation at a much more detailed level. Our main contribution is the development of a framework to assess work design changes in the transformation towards CPS, and the consideration of the role of management choice therein. The framework relates (future) capabilities of CPS on the machine, production line, factory and supply chain scope to functions of human information processing. We then evaluate how the potential automation or augmentation of those functions by CPS affects job characteristics. Automation in this context is defined as the transfer of control and decisionmaking from humans to CPS, while augmentation means that technology is used to enhance human productivity or capability. We expect that the transformation towards CPS and the resulting automation and augmentation of tasks will shift the majority of human work to jobs characterized by high levels of job complexity, job autonomy and skill variety. This effect will become more severe when tasks are increasingly automated in the transformation towards CPS. During this development, human skills and knowledge will presumably remain critical in near future industrial production. Nevertheless, the ultimate implications for work design are strongly dependent on management choice. Strategic decisions are required on (1) which functions to automate across different scopes of operations and (2) how to group the resulting pool of tasks into jobs. This may result in various work designs. However, this choice is to a certain degree limited, and the role of technology is to restrict, rather than determine management choice.what exactly leads to variations in these work designs (Parker, Morgeson, & Johns, 2017). One source of variation stems from the implementation of innovative digital technologies in industrial production, linked to the concept of Industry 4.0 (Hirsch-Kreinsen, 2016;Hirsch-Kreinsen & Ten Hompel, 2015). Industry 4.0 is an umbrella term comprising an array of different high-tech technologies and is characterized by Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in the context of industrial production (Colombo, Karnouskos, Kaynak, Shi, & Yin, 2017;Hermann, Pentek, & Otto, 2016).In essence, CPS are systems of interconnected physical and computational objects, resulting in a close coupling of the cyber and physical contexts (Lee, Bagheri, & Kao, 2015). In industrial production, this means that physical objects, such as machines or products, are integrated with computational components. As a consequence, CPS are

“…hohe Präzision und Leistung der Technik, verbinden sich zu einer neuen Entität, welche als Realisierung eines abstrakten Handlungssystems inklusive Ziel-, Informations-und Ausführungssystem gesehen werden kann (Ropohl 2009). Da eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung bei der Entstehung sozio-technischer Systeme gefordert wird, muss vor allem die Kommunikation und Interaktion zwischen Menschen und Maschinen im Fokus des Entwicklungsprozesses stehen (Hirsch-Kreinsen 2017). Falls es der Technik selbst oder der Interaktion mit selbiger an Nutzen für den Menschen mangelt, sie eine geringe Benutzerfreundlichkeit aufweist oder der Mensch ihr misstraut, falsche Erwartungen hat oder eine negative Gesamteinstellung ihr gegenüber aufbringt, so wird er den Umgang meiden und es kommt zu einer Verminderung der Performance (Lee und See 2006).…”

Kommunikation über soziale Netzwerke ist für die Menschen zur Routine geworden. Ebenso tauschen technische Systeme Informationen und Aufträge im Internet der Dinge miteinander aus. Diese beiden Welten verschmelzen in der "Social Networked Industry", welche neue Formen der Interaktion zwischen Mensch und Technik bietet. Nicht nur das Privatleben ist von Technik geprägt, ebenso findet Technik wie bspw. Produktionsmaschinen, Fahrerlose Transportfahrzeuge oder Wearables Einzug in das berufliche Leben von mehr und mehr Menschen. Um die Fähigkeiten des Menschen und der Technik optimal zu nutzen, bedarf es der Entwicklung an den Menschen anpassbarer Technik, welche soziale Regeln des Menschen berücksichtigt. Mit EMILI wurde ein soziales Transportfahrzeug geschaffen, welches dem Menschen neue Kommunikationswege bietet und sich auf seine Bedürfnisse einstellt. 1 Relevanz der Mensch-Technik-Interaktion in soziotechnischen Systemen Nicht nur in unserem Alltag ist Technik zu einem wesentlichen Bestandteil geworden, auch in der Arbeitswelt treffen wir vermehrt auf verschiedenste Arten von Technik. Es entstehen sozio-technische Systeme, welche eine Betrachtung der Beziehungen und Abhängigkeiten von Technik und Menschen nicht nur aus organisatorischer Sichtweise, sondern auch basierend auf pädagogischen und kulturellen Aspekte erfordern (Herrmann 2003). Ein sozio-technisches System ist mehr als nur der bloße Zusammenschluss von Technik und Mensch. Die Stärken des einzelnen, wie die Flexibilität und kreative Problemlösungsprozesse des Menschen und die

The impact of Industry 4.0 on work design

Manufacturing execution systems (MES) enable the detailed control of manufacturing operations, and therefore facilitate digital and integrated shop-floor systems as envisioned by Industry 4.0. Yet, many manufacturing organizations struggle to integrate MES and demarcate it from other information systems (IS) in manufacturing. Therefore, this paper explores how MES can be functionally and technologically distinguished from other IS to determine its (future) role in the IS landscape. To provide an answer, this research applies the conceptualization of IS into five application functionalities and underlying enabling technologies. They are referred to as transaction processing, interactive planning, analytics, document management and process monitoring and control systems. We found that MES merges different types of application functionality into one system through its diverse functional requirements, and therefore can be characterized as technologically heterogeneous, in contrast to other 'classical' systems. MES then also takes on a central integrating role in the IS landscape. The findings offer an explanation for the challenges associated with the adoption of MES functionality, and highlight the importance of addressing integration questions in light of Industry 4.0.
