Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: to identify and map contemporary research on advanced technology implementations for problem-solving purposes in the manufacturing industry, and to further understand the organizational learning possibilities of advanced technology problem-solving in the manufacturing industry. Design/methodology/approach This paper outlines a scoping review of contemporary research on the subject. The findings of the review are discussed in the light of theories of contradicting learning logics. Findings This paper shows that contemporary research on the subject is characterized by technological determinism and strong solution-focus. A discussion on the manufacturing industries’ contextual reasons for this in relation to contradicting learning logics shows that a Mode-2 problem-solving approach could facilitate further learning and expand knowledge on advanced technology problem-solving in the manufacturing industry. A research agenda with six propositions is provided. Originality/value The introduction of advanced technology implies complex effects on the manufacturing industry in general, while previous research shows a clear focus on technological aspects of this transformation. This paper provides value by providing novel knowledge on the relationship between advanced technology, problem-solving and organizational learning in the manufacturing industry.

如何促进制造业从问题中学习：先进技术问题解决综述

本文的目的有两个:一是识别和绘制当前制造业中以解决问题为目的的先进技术实施的研究，二是进一步了解制造业中先进技术解决问题的组织学习可能性。这篇论文概述了对这一主题的当代研究的范围综述。本文从矛盾学习逻辑理论的角度对研究结果进行了讨论。研究结果表明，当代对该问题的研究具有技术决定论和强烈的解决焦点的特点。通过对制造业的学习逻辑矛盾的背景原因的讨论表明，模式2问题解决方法有助于进一步学习和扩展制造业先进技术问题解决的知识。本文提出了一个包含六个命题的研究议程。一般来说，先进技术的引入意味着对制造业的复杂影响，而先前的研究表明，这种转变的技术方面明显受到关注。本文的价值在于对制造业中先进技术、问题解决和组织学习之间的关系提供了新的认识。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Workplace Learning aims to provide an avenue for the presentation and discussion of research related to the workplace as a site for learning. Its scope encompasses formal, informal and incidental learning in the workplace for individuals, groups and teams, as well as work-based learning, and off-the-job learning for the workplace. This focus on learning in, from and for the workplace also brings with it questions about the nature of interventions that might assist the learning process and of the roles of those responsible directly or indirectly for such interventions. Since workplace learning cannot be considered without reference to its context, another aim of the journal is to explore the organisational, policy, political, resource issues and other factors which influence how, when and why that learning takes place.
