Abstract
The production of large numbers of devices allows many economies of scale. Computerized equipment operates very quickly, often working faster than the combined abilities of several humans. Completely automated process steps are more consistent than processes in which humans play a part. These conditions lower the cost of manufacturing each unit but the capital expense, planning, and programming of these systems is significant. The nonrecurring costs must be recouped by dividing them over the entire) volume of product produced.
