The implementation caused problems as well, and these problems were sufficient-ly addressed for the author to conclude “overall there was value”. Along with the value was a clear benefit regarding better service. The author spent considerable time explaining how the new system would develop very marketable job skills for those trained to use it.
However, there was conflicting evidence regarding whether it enhanced the workplace. The system did make engineering and quality control functions easier.

The final conclusion is that there was a negative impact for users, which was not fully explained.
