It is defined as the replacement of manual labor by machine operations. With office mechanization, paperwork in the offices has reduced to a considerable extent and a Paperless Office has become a reality. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) WRITE YOUR SUBTOPIC The object of mechanization in various industries is to enhance efficiency, reduce labor-intensive tasks, and improve overall productivity. Mechanization plays a crucial role in automating repetitive and physically demanding processes, which can lead to increased output, cost savings, and improved quality control. Its advantages include higher production rates, consistent product quality, reduced manual labor, and increased safety by minimizing worker exposure to hazardous tasks. However, mechanization can also have disadvantages, such as initial high setup costs, the potential for job displacement, and the need for regular maintenance and skilled operators. Nonetheless, when implemented thoughtfully and responsibly, mechanization remains a pivotal strategy for businesses seeking to thrive in today's competitive markets. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) OBJECTIVES Increased Efficiency Improved Quality Cost Reduction Mechanization reduces the reliance Machines and automated Mechanization can help on manual labor and human effort, systems can consistently organizations reduce allowing tasks to be completed more produce high-quality products operational costs by minimizing quickly and with greater precision. or deliver consistent results, labor requirements and This often leads to higher reducing the likelihood of decreasing the need for productivity and lower labor costs. repetitive, labor-intensive human error and variation in tasks. output.
