Economic efficiency of manufacturing technology integration

Manufacturing technology integration is an arising paradigm that aims at the functional integration of diverse manufacturing technologies into machine tools. This dissertation applies models of production, cost, and queuing theory to identify conditions under which manufacturing technology integration leads to greater productivity, lower cost, and smaller throughput times than a manufacturing system consisting of conventional single-technology machine tools.
