The results of a survey large Czech manufacturing companies are presented which shows the current levels of investment in advanced manufacturing technology (AMT), the techniques and criteria used to assess AMT capital projects, and attitudes to the need for further investment. Comparisons are made with the results of earlier identical surveys in the UK and the USA. The comparisons reveal numerous statistically significant differences. The current levels of AMT investment in the Czech Republic are relatively low, the techniques used for evaluation relatively unsophisticated, the investment criteria used are more short term, and there is less concern about the need for AMT.

Potential Benefits

This paper presents selected results of postal survey focused on advanced manufacturing technology adoption and utilization that was carried out in the Czech Republic two years ago. We have narrowed our focus on motivation of managers of manufacturing companies to invest in modern technology here. We believe that the most important motives are strongly linked to potential benefits that are associated with particular technology and that is why we have studied various benefits of advanced manufacturing technology and we put it into context of the problems the managers have to face nowadays. Our results show that from this perspective there are many good reasons to invest in modern technology.
