AB  - Change is an essential business trait. Manufacturing particularly is
transforming at an unprecedented pace. Adopting effective management
practices, capable of keeping pace with the changing technological
environment, is particularly important to success in global markets.
Manufacturers employing advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) are
often more flexible than their traditional counter‐parts since AMT
permits the integration of product design and production processes.
Consequently, this synergistic effect facilitates achievement of
world‐class manufacturing objectives. Despite obvious advantages, sparse
research exists concerning achieving AMT competitive advantages. To
incorporate AMT organizationally, management must be cognizant of the
requirements for successful AMT implementation. Provides managerial
requirements for successfully achieving AMT competitive advantages.
Assuming management understands the “how” of doing things right and
incorporates the necessary corporate cultural changes to embrace AMT,
manufacturing strategic planning can lead the organization towards
“what” are the right things to pursue. Therefore, strategic planning is
given substantial consideration.
