Discuss how AMT and innovations in materials technology and in knowledge technology have increased task interdependence and the technical complexity of the work process. How have these innovations changed the structure of organizations operating a mass-production technology?
Expert Answer
Innovations in materials technology are based on a new paradigm of the linkages among the input, conversion, and output activities. While the traditional mass production tries to protect the conversion process from disruptions at the input and output stages by using inventory as buffers to increase control in the manufacturing process and reduce uncertainty, AMT actively seeks ways to increase
