I also like the way the Toyota production system puts it with Jidoka / automate with a human touch. [1] 1. Only automate the steps you know how to execute manually very well. This is a prerequisite. This kind of goes in the direction of not automating everything but looking at the parts you can automate well first. 2. Enable human intervention in the automation. Enable humans to stop the line when something is wrong. Then you figure out what's wrong and improve your automation. This implies the interative approach.
