Abstract:
Organizations today face pressure to bring products to market faster, at lower cost, and with increased quality. One approach to achieving this goal is the automation of engineering workflow activities. This paper studies an organization that has successfully adopted automation within its engineering workflow. Using a field study approach, we document the tasks this organization has automated, the impact of automating those tasks, and the organization’s process for selecting tasks to automate. We also discuss how other organizations might consider applying automation within their processes.
