Abstract

The implementation of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) has the potential to impact, both positively and negatively, on all manner of activities and areas of an organisation. This paper presents six case examples, drawn from larger case studies, of the implementation of AMTs and the subsequent impacts. It describes a range of AMTs in a range of different settings. Analysis is focused on the benefits achieved by the companies and the difficulties experienced, in an effort to draw out some common themes regarding AMT implementation. The major implications for management are outlined as a set of "critical success factors" to the adoption of AMTs.
