AB  - The history, successes, failures and future needs that relate to
the allocation of functions to humans and/ or machines in manufacturing
environments are presented. The various methodologies that have been
proposed for performing function allocation are discussed. The basic
process involves matching the capabilities and limitations of the
particular human or automated system with the requirements imposed by
the manufacturing operation. This process can range from a global,
systems approach down to the delineation of specific capabilities of
humans and automated systems. Both recent advances and obstacles to the
effective allocation of tasks to humans or machines based on the
capabilities of each are presented. The current status and the areas
where future research and development are needed are discussed.
