Two central ideas in the movement toward advanced automation
systems are the office-of-the-future (or office automation system),
and the factory of-the-future (or factory automation system). An
office automation system is an integrated system with diversified
office equipment, communication devices, intelligent terminals,
intelligent copiers, etc., for providing information management and
control in a dis tributed office environment. A factory automation
system is also an inte grated system with programmable machine
tools, robots, and other pro cess equipment such as new
"peripherals," for providing manufacturing information management
and control. Such advanced automation systems can be regarded as
the response to the demand for greater variety, greater
flexibility, customized designs, rapid response, and 'Just-in-time"
delivery of office services or manufac tured goods. The economy of
scope, which allows the production of a vari ety of similar
products in random order, gradually replaces the economy of scale
derived from overall volume of operations. In other words, we are
gradually switching from the production of large volumes of
standard products to systems for the production of a wide variety
of similar products in small batches. This is the phenomenon of
"demassification" of the marketplace, as described by Alvin Toffier
in The Third Wave."
