Abstract

The goal of the paper is to present research results concerning the future of Macroergonomic Manufacturing Systems (MMS). This research were based on an expert version of Delphi method and fuzzy set applications. Modern Macroergonomic Manufacturing Systems are based on industrial work model which started at the end of nineteenth century. In this model enterprises work on the principles of tasks repeatability and their perfectionism. The workers in a frame of Macroergonomic Manufacturing System, they are still doing the same with the highest efficiency and productivity. The development of automation and robotics based on the rules of Artificial Intelligence will lead to a change in this classic model in the future. The future of Macroergonomic Manufacturing Systems is associated with a positive cooperation scenario of human natural intelligence with the “machining” Artificial Intelligence. In the model of the future, the enterprises will have to swear that the purpose of Macroergonomic Manufacturing Systems functioning is lasting and development. Current profit as a means of achieving this purpose will be replaced by the desire to have the best, professional and creative staff, empowered as well as identifying with the enterprise’s goals.
