The vision of the 4th industrial revolution is triggered by technological concepts and solutions to realize a combination of the economy of scale with the economy of scope. This aim is also known as mass customization and is characterized by handling a high level of complexity with a total network integration of products and production processes. These technology-driven changes also lead to new fields of activity in the industrial science and the occupational psychology. The 4th industrial revolution intends to implement the collaboration between humans and machines. At the same time, processes are locally controlled and planned. For humans, this results to new work items. Resulting psychological effects should be investigated. This paper classifies the 4th industrial revolution systematically and describes future changes for employees. It derives the necessity of labor- psychological analysis of new key technologies like cyber physical systems. A theoretical foundation of a psychological work requirement analysis by using the VERA method is given.

It has been accepted for inclusion in English - Dissertations by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT While recent scholarship focuses on the fluidity or dissolution of the boundary between body and machine, “The Body Machinic” historicizes the emergence of the categories of “human” and “mechanical” labor. Beginning with nineteenth-century debates about the mechanized labor process, these categories became defined in opposition to each other, providing the ideological foundation for a dichotomy that continues to structure thinking about our relation to technology. These perspectives are polarized into technophobic fears of dehumanization and machines “taking over,” or technological determinist celebrations of new technologies as improvements to human life, offering the tempting promise of maximizing human efficiency. “The Body Machinic” argues that both sides to this dichotomy function to mask the ways the apparent body-machine relation is always the product of human social relations that become embedded in the technologies of the labor process. Chapter 1 identifies the emergence of this dichotomy in the 1830s “Factory Question” debates: while critics of the factory system described workers as tools appended to monstrous, living machines, apologists claimed large-scale industrial machinery relieved human toil by replicating the laboring body in structure and function.

  • EA Management in the German Public Sector: an Initial Perspective on Priorities
    EA Management in the German Public Sector: An Initial Perspective on Priorities Anna Sonnenberger1 and Kurt Sandkuhl2 1,2 BEC, Elmenhorst, Germany 2 Institute of Computer Science, University of Rostock, Germany [anna.sonnenberger, kurt.sandkuhl]@uni-rostock.de Abstract. Worldwide, Enterprise Architectures (EAs) have been gaining popu- larity due to benefits, like, e.g., increased transparency of dependencies between business and technology, reduction of efforts for system customization or opti- mizing integrated and enterprise-wide processes and matching actions. Private businesses and the public sector show significant differences in the use of EA. Thus, the application of reference architectures originating from the private sec- tor for purposes in the public sector creates substantial challenges. For a better understanding of the challenges, it is necessary to identify the most affected EA layers and the insufficiently defined, modeled or described elements of EA models in general. Based on an investigation in the Germany, this paper identi- fies weaknesses of EA in the public sector, like an incompletely modeled tech- nology layer, and also strengths, such as existing definitions, descriptions and models of enterprise objectives. These findings are the foundation for deriving actions and recommendations to strengthening the existing structure and turning it into a coherent overall architecture for federal and state agencies in Germany. Keywords: Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Architecture Management, Ref- erence Models and Architecture, Public Sector. 1 Introduction Fundamentally, IT is gaining in importance, making the development of IT strategies necessary. A holistic and guiding strategy development cannot be reduced to solely the IT perspective or solely the business perspective. Both must be adapted and tuned to achieve long term goals such as transparency, cost reduction and short term process adjustment [3, 4, 9, 18, 23, 24].

  • The Cottage Industry
    The Cottage Industry • The Cottage Industry – A family or small group of workers made products from their homes to sell, usually just to earn extra money (not to make a living). Before the Industrial Revolution, this was how products were manufactured. – Merchants (business people) delivered materials to the house – The workers in the house turned the materials into a product to be sold – The merchants returned to collect the product and pay the workers. – The merchants sold the product in other markets.

  • The Domestic System Vs. the Factory System by Sarah Collinge
    The Domestic System vs. the Factory System By Sarah Collinge The Domestic System Before the 1700s, people manufactured products in their own homes. These people were considered artisans. They made products by hand, often taking a long time to make each object. While this work was slow, the finished products were of high quality. During the time of the domestic system, it took a great deal of time to produce fabric that could be made into clothing. First, wool was sheared from the sheep and cleaned. It was then spun by spinners and made into yarn. Finally, a skilled weaver wove the yarn using a handloom. It took a significant amount of time and skill to make a single piece of fabric. With the population growing, the need for a large production of goods, especially textiles, was needed. The domestic system was no longer able to provide enough goods to meet the demand. The Factory System In the late 1700s, machines were invented that allowed textiles to be made faster and in larger quan- tities. These new machines replaced hand weavers. The new machines were too large to be housed in one’s home. They also required a power source to make them run. Factories, or mills, were built along rivers, which supplied power. Workers now had to leave their homes each day and travel to a factory to work. Some workers lived too far away from a factory to trav- el back and forth each day. They stayed in tenements or apartments in order to be close to their work.

  • Practical Application of the Industry 4.0 Concept in a Steel Company
    sustainability Article Practical Application of the Industry 4.0 Concept in a Steel Company Radosław Mi´skiewicz and Radosław Wolniak * Faculty of Organisation and Management, Silesian University of Technology, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 10 June 2020; Accepted: 14 July 2020; Published: 17 July 2020 Abstract: The primary aim of this paper was to present and analyze practical solutions of Industry 4.0 as applied in the Re Alloys company. The research question was whether the implementation of the digitization process based on Industry 4.0 resulted in changes to the organizational structure of the company and whether this brought about an improvement in the energy and material efficiency of the company. The research method used in the paper was the case study method. In view of the project’s results, we concluded that implementation of the new solution based on digitalization caused increased energy and material efficiency, often forced by external factors stemming from the operation of competitive markets. Technological changes also require the application of IT technologies and communication systems in managing production. Access to this information is also a chance to gain a competitive advantage. Keywords: Industry 4.0; manufacturing; metals and metal production; digitalization 1. Introduction Today, industrial production is driven by global competition and the need to quickly adapt to ever-changing market requirements [1–3]. Modern production was built on the experiences of the first industrial revolution, streamlining the operations of manufacturing plants; the second revolution, introducing electricity to industry; and the third revolution, automating uniform tasks for production workers [4–6].
