Abstract

This paper studies the interplay in terms of techno-organisational change between the adoption of I4.0 technologies and lean production systems. Leveraging on the results of two field-work analyses conducted under a collaboration with the Sabattini Foundation and the metal workers trade union FIOM in the period 20162018, we compare an ensemble of factories producing both high-end/highly customised and low-end products. Emerging patterns of convergence and divergence in the techno-organisational configurations of these factories confirm that this wave of technological innovation is far from leading to total automation or the digital revolution. On the contrary, it appears to be integrated into the historical trend of “leanification” of production processes in the automotive sector, despite the organisational variety shaped by the actual implementation of this production model.
迈向工厂4.0:意大利汽车工厂精益模式的趋同与分化
本文研究了采用工业4.0技术与精益生产系统之间的技术-组织变革的相互作用。利用与萨巴蒂尼基金会和金属工人工会FIOM在2016年至2018年期间合作进行的两次实地工作分析的结果,我们比较了生产高端/高度定制和低端产品的工厂。这些工厂的技术组织配置中出现的趋同和分化模式证实,这波技术创新远未导致全面自动化或数字革命。相反,它似乎融入了汽车行业生产过程“精益化”的历史趋势,尽管这种生产模式的实际实施形成了组织多样性。
