Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to explore the relationship between success parameters and implementation of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT); and second, to examine the changes required in manufacturing system as a result of AMT implementation.

Design/methodology/approach

The first order confirmatory factor analysis was performed to validate the presence of observed variables on their respective latent variable. Structural equation modeling is used to test the considered eight hypotheses.

Findings

The finding indicates that all five success factors are positively related to the AMT implementation. The redesign in the production system and organization strategy is directly related to the AMT implementation. The notable finding is the AMT implementation has no direct impact on the redesign of human resource, but it has mediated impact through the production system.

Research limitations/implications

The originality and reliability of data collected for research purpose merely depends upon information and the accessible resources.

Originality/value

The outcome of the present work gives rise to meaningful implications for researchers and practitioners as well.
