Abstract: In these days of high labor costs and the need to reduce operational times, automation often provides a cost effective solution. Cost effectiveness is usually determined from calculations based on projected time and expense reductions. However, situations may occur where the automated equipment is not significantly faster than expert human operators, or where the use of fewer personnel to operate the automated equipment is precluded by organizational restrictions. If the calculations do not show a required payback on what is often a high capital investment for the automated equipment, then the justification is likely to be rejected.
