This study concerns the dichotomies in manufacturing work: industrial manufacturing work and postindustrial manufacturing work. Industrial manufacturing work consists of making, moving, inspecting, loading and unloading. However postindustrial manufacturing work includes flew product design, research and development, and programming computer aided manufacturing machines.
Four industrial manufacturing systems were visited as for case studies to analyze the dichotomies of work: pin manufacturing system, embroidering manufacturing, shoe making, and casting manufacturing system. The dichotomies in work were investigated in the respect of input/output of work, necessary work capabilities. and work duplication, work substitution. Also several issues from the dichotomies of work were distinguished such as social and economical issues, and individual, company, and governmental issues were investigated.
