De-skilling and Re-skilling process in the context of computer systems

The deskilling/reskilling controversy within the labour process debate is considered within the context of the implementation of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM). Effective implementation of CIM is shown to require an appreciation of the social and organizational issues associated with organizational change. As such the deskilling/reskilling issue is worthy of analysis within the CIM context and aspects of the labour process debate are examined. The effects of technological change on the skills of shop floor operators and supervisors are examined by analysing two dimensions of skill, technical complexity and discretion or autonomy (Sellen, 2009, p. 50-165). Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) been coined to denote the use of computers in the product design, production planning, control of operations and ensure compliance with all business functions required in a factory. CIM includes all activities that are performed for manufacture of a product, from the perceived need, the conception, design and development, through its production, marketing and product support in use. It is also linked to the Automation is the use techniques and equipment for industrial process control optimally and automatically.

There are at least two categories of reskilling: developing non-IT candidates into IT staff, and developing new skills within existing IT staff. Throughout the organization, we find lots of people exploring their hidden capabilities or broadening their horizons using re-skilling (Hakkarainen, 2009, p. 879-888). Labour-intensive systems for production have been replaced by computer-aided technologies, which calls for a need to be more equipped with the technologies in order to carry out organizational tasks more effectively (Alejandro, 2010, p. 10). From the beginning, mankind has developed various tools to facilitate monitoring and exploitation of their environment, which have been numerous and diverse. Our world Modern is more complex than they might imagine our ancestors, relationships production have been pluralized so that we face new problems. In postindustrial society, the mainstay of will be handling development of information and knowledge through new technologies, without this means to stop produce goods materials.

The first effect is that they cause reduced workforce, which is replaced by machines with support in microelectronics and conducting operations directly with users. However, technology is a factor generator working, albeit limited, for example, relocation of jobs, allowing for the provision services without having to leave home, has been called "telecommuting." This altered form of employment and replaces the physical interaction in relationships work in cases where it is not so physical supervision required of employees but offers advantages to social groups traditionally excluded from the market work as housewives, who were can combine an activity of this type with the difficulties and impediments of situation.

The fact of having a network information through computers, beepers and makes the whole enterprise fax management territories and the decision of what works made and where. New technologies are the node a profound restructuring of production, spatial planning and organizational in work and production activities and social reproduction. Digital technologies and information and communication are powerful ...
