The Technology Machine is Moody and Morley's name for the factory of the future and the business systems that will make it work. Experts in manufacturing and technology - Moody's a writer and consultant while Morley, among other things, invented the ubiquitous Programmable Logic Controller - they offer a vision of machines and people -- "the two main components of every production system" - that is very different from how they've traditionally been viewed. Illustrated by case examples from such companies as Motorola, Honda, Solectron, Intel, Silicon Graphics, and NeXT, The Technology Machine paints a picture of paradoxically simple solutions arising out of the increasingly complex manufacturing systems of today.
