Taking technology into manufacturing: The limiting step
Abstract
ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY are frequently limited not by the rate with which technology is developed, but by the rate with which it is effectively introduced into manufacturing or use. Examples of this phenomenon range from rapid transit systems to nuclear technology, and the history of semiconductor technology, in particular, is characterized by many traumatic efforts to absorb new products and processes into manufacturing.
