Abstract
There are a number of factors (planning, process optimization, organizational structure, people development and the need to see the total picture) that must be in place for automation to be as effective as possible. This paper discusses these factors and their relationship with automation. It evaluates less obvious areas associated with automation, as well as the more established ones, and discusses the premise that it is the integration of all these aspects that truly offers the biggest opportunities.
