✦ Synopsis

This paper is based on ESPRIT project 1199: 'Development of a Human-Centred CIM System'. The idea of human-centredness is discussed in relation to flexible integrated manufacturing and to the development and use of computer systems in individual and cooperative work. The paper discusses systems development techniques for individual users and cooperative work. The integration of computer systems is reshaping work organization darmatically, and a method for addressing problems of work organization during the development of integrated computer systems is described.
