Allen-Bradley Solves the Automation Puzzle.

Summary: Pending
By John Teresko. Secondary headline: This Milwaukee manufacturer finds there are two keys to success in flexible manufacturing: relaxed union work rules and meticulous design. "To study new pro- duction systems, Allen-Bradley set up pilot manufacturing facilities, which, for a given project, might require 'almost any type of worker--from a salaried engineer to a Kelly Girl temp'...By relaxing work rules, the company's union leaders have allowed the company to place workers wherever it needs them. We strive to minimize the amount of debugging that is necessary."
