Technology plays a key role to create and maintain competitiveness in the universal arena. Technology is all the knowledge, processes, methods, tools, products and systems engaged in the design of goods or in providing services. Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) is a new technology whose adoption changes the industry’s manufacturing practice, production and approaches to design and management systems. Moreover, AMT plays a critical role in developing socio-economic environment and this brings further external effects to the country. Importance of technology for competitiveness is rising in emerging environment of AMT. The role of AMT had always been well understood in the developed nations, it is being touched by small scale and medium scale industries in developing country also. The importance of technology for business success and competitiveness has been confirmed empirically in several contexts.

The Impact

Issues of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) implementation have been extensively covered in the literature in regard to large companies; however, exclusive examination of the impact of AMT on small companies remains under researched. This examination of ten case study companies demonstrates the potential benefits of AMT use, as each of the companies achieved positive outcomes from AMT. However, the benefits achieved did not always meet the companies' expectations. Analysis of the experiences of the companies indicates the importance of considering the impact of AMT output on the manufacturing process, the levels of pre-existing AMT experience and the availability of external support mechanisms.
