automation system | | Abstract: | The research study is based on the investment decision of SMEs in automotive parts industry for flexible automation (soft) system. The study adopts a quantitative approach to identify factors of decision made towards soft automation. Based on detailed examination of literature, the research questionnaires were developed and by collecting quantitative data were used to investigate. The researcher uses free and face to face interview of top level managers both male and female.
The factors that influence which were determined were cost, output, labour and governmental to determine the change from hard to soft automation. The data gathered through questionnaires which were completed by investors and top level managers states that there are many factors like, labour, output and governmental factors that influence their decision making process when they wanted to invest in soft automation. Most of the SMEs focused on long term period and this is the main reason they did not consider the cost of soft automation. Governmental factor was one of the determining factors for investors since they were expecting some regulation and soft loan from the government owned bank. The ever increasing labour cost has led to investors to think about having low labour turnover. They wanted to invest in skilled labour but limit their number to decrease cost. By increasing period of production time and increasing soft automation use investors want to increase output to reduce cost per unit.
The main limitation of this research is that the primary data collected through face to face interview is only of top level manager’s perspectives about soft automation investment decision. If we could have both top level managers and investors perspective it would have given a clearer understanding of the process. The researcher begins in his research to identify the influencing factors which draws the investors to make decision in shifting or purchasing flexible (soft) automation. Then, he methodologically discusses his findings concluding his work with his finding comparing with what scholars says theoretically. | | Curricular : | BBA/MBA/PhDM | | Record link: | http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=26663 |
