Abstract
A major steel strip producer evaluates the prospect of automating its production facilities. The case discusses the tangible and intangible benefits of automation and the steps taken by the company prior to deciding to proceed with the project. It compares proposals from potential contractors. It can be used to demonstrate the problems of assessing an advanced automation project particularly if reliance is placed only on conventional capital appraisal techniques.
