Abstract :
Summary form only given. Participative and performance management, employee involvement, educational upgrades, and organizational redesign are several strategies being employed by Harris Semiconductor to address the `humanware´ side of the equation. Manufacturing technology, with emphasis on tools such as statistics, just-in-time, and computer-aided manufacturing, is equally applied on the `hardware´ side. Several of the activities being employed to manage manufacturing performance are discussed, and the impact they are having on the workforce and the quality of the work at Harris Semiconductor is reported
