The technology market is actively developing, which is why some enterprises are trying to keep up with the times, using automation. This means that human labor is being replaced by machine production. What are the pros and cons of this implementation?
The automation process began even when production appeared. The leaders of organizations began to plan, design various self-acting devices that can facilitate human labor. Active action in the development of this direction took place in the late 18th century - early 19th century, when the industrial revolution began. The founder of the transition of production to automation is Karl Marx, he, having evaluated the state of the economy, proposed this replacement.
The introduction of automatic machine production allowed enterprise managers to significantly reduce the cost of wages to personnel, increase labor productivity due to the smooth operation of the machine and significantly reduce other production costs. Thus, automation is a kind of leap forward in the development of the economic economy. Indeed, in order to achieve the release of large volumes of products, it is necessary to have a sufficiently large labor force, and in the case of using self-acting devices, human labor is reduced to a minimum, unless it is necessary to control the operation of machines.
There are also disadvantages here. As a rule, machines require constant repair and maintenance, which is quite problematic and expensive - not every company can afford to maintain automatic devices. If the tool is out of order, then the marriage can be calculated in rather large amounts, since it is not always possible to stop the production process every minute.
How does automation work? First, the manager must study and evaluate all management objects, the production process. Then predict the effectiveness of the implementation of automated devices. Then the goals and decisions are passed on to engineers who, after processing the results, will design the transition to enterprise automation.
