  • In manufacturing, complex production systems with cyber-machines connected in a factory-wide information network require strategic human decision-makers in complex, varied and high-autonomy jobs.

    “For example, within manufacturing, complex production systems in which cyber-machines are connected in a factory-wide information network require strategic human decision-makers operating in complex, varied and high-level autonomy jobs98.”

    From Understanding and shaping the future of work with self-determination theory (2022) · cites this paper as [98]

    Section 4.1.1 says factory-scale cyber-physical systems can shift human work toward more complex, broader-scope decisions, and the Discussion says humans remain important for supervision of complex automated processes. But the Abstract and sections 4.1.3 and 4.2 say job autonomy and the grouping of tasks depend on technical design and management choices; they do not say such systems necessarily require all human decision-makers to hold complex, varied, high-autonomy jobs. The paper assigns strategic decisions about automation and job design to management. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
