摘要: This paper reports a survey of published outcomes examining the impact AMT within companies various sizes. The is part research project that will identify critical factors for selection and implementation in small companies. Much literature concentrates on US manufacturing places little or no emphasis differences between large organisations. Given resources required to implement AMT, such indiscriminate study may provide results with bias have more opportunity invest therefore experience affecting implementation. In order counter bias, authors enlisted help two industrial experts resolve absence an understanding particular issues facing when implementing AMT. has potential make significant contribution knowledge field through identification generic issues.
