Abstract
This study investigates the impact of cultural difference between China and Germany on the system design and implementation of Shop-Floor Control (SFC) system. The study aims to explore the following research questions: (a) how cultural differences influence users' requirements on SFC functions; (b) what kind of user interface design should be adapted for users from different cultures; and (c) how to implement SFC system in the shop-floor management in different cultures. 10 Chinese users and 5 German users from 4 Sino-German joint ventures were interviewed in the study. Based on the interview results, 24 cultural related key findings were concluded. We discussed the implications and provided 5 design and implementation recommendations for SFC system. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
