The proposed research involves exploration of the feasibility              of developing a methodology for considering the potential                       organizational impact of the technical design decisions made in                 implementing automated manufacturing systems.  First, a                         generalizable typology of critical design decisions will be                     developed.  Then, categories of design decisions that are likely to             cause organizational changes will be identified and the range of                design options will be examined.  Finally, a matrix of typology of              technical options vs. organizational impacts will be developed, to              identify which types of options are critical in terms of their                  impact on the organization.  The study will examine the technical               design process of a robot line in a machine shop at Xerox Corp.,                Apple Corporation's automated insertion machines, and John Deere's              FMS cells.  From these three very different types of automation                 design, a set of generalizable results are expected to be drawn.
