An exploratory effort is underway to develop a quantitative framework           for planning and evaluating automation of manufacturing systems based           on information metrics instead of the traditional economic criteria.            Such a framework would support investigations of information,                   tolerances, and process performance; study of relationships of                  production costs and yields to product and process information;                 elucidation of principles relating information to automatability; and           study of the role of information in assembly of parts.
