This project provides theoretical and econometric methods for                                                                                              analyzing how advanced information technologies, and the                        structures of the organizations using them, affect the performance                                                                                              of modern, complex, industrial production facilities. The research                                                                                              focusses upon the productivity and reliability of established                   production facilities, and its ultimate aim is to assess the                    impacts of new technologies for process monitoring and control                  upon these two quantitative dimensions of performance. The                      research agenda has three elements.  First, it aims to advance the                                                                                              analysis of production systems by examining the choices of                      techniques for process control and organizational design that                   would promote improvement sin reliability and productivity via                  more extensive uses of sophisticated information technology.                    Second, it proposes novel formulations of production theory that                relate more directly to empirical observations of micro level                   production events.  Third, the project undertakes to test the                   usefulness of its conceptual and methodological researches by                   applying these concretely, in a study of organizational and                     information-technology impacts on the performance of an                         economically important  and exceptionally well-documented                       industry--commercial nuclear power plants operated by U.S.                      electric utility companies.
