Abstract
New technology is significantly changing the industrial workplace. The implementation of new technology allows companies to improve productivity, quality, safety, working conditions, and profitability. Effective new technology implementation is necessary for companies to compete successfully in the highly competitive business world. Time and money wasted on unsuccessful new technology implementation is contrary to the goal of improving the competitiveness and profitability of the company. To effectively implement new technology it is necessary to consider all of the factors involved in the implementation process, such as: new technology characteristics, organization structure, task factors, environmental characteristics, and the human factors involved. It is also suggested to utilize a cooperative approach to new technology implementation, which relies on employee participation and teamwork throughout the implementation process. By taking a total systems view of the situation; and being aware to the interactions that exist; it is hoped that the new technology can be implemented in the most effective way possible. A case study is presented to illustrate this.
