Abstract
The potential benefits that a firm can expect from an automated factory, the economic justification and the steps for implementing flexible manufacturing systems are discussed. Some British companies are used as case examples. They all point to the need for the UK to implement the automated factory. For success in this, attention must be given to management practices, support systems, performance measurement, cost management and data collection.
