摘要
Purpose - This research aims to report the findings of an exploratory survey on advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) administered in Indian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of automobile, electronics, machinery, and process sectors. The objective of the survey is to assess the status of AMT, identify AMTs relevant to Indian SMEs, identify competitive priorities, AMT implementation criteria, and assess the degree of investment in AMTs. Design/methodology/approach - Responses from 122 companies are analyzed and presented. Findings - It is observed that Indian SMEs are giving the highest priority to quality and the least priority to flexibility. "Post- implementation evaluation" and "requirement analysis" AMT implementation steps have attracted least attention from Indian SMEs. Originality/value - This research report is useful to others implementing AMT.
