Advanced Manufacturing Technology Implementation Process in SME: Critical Success Factors
Abstract: The aim of this
paper is to present critical factors that constitute a successful implementation
of the Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) in Small Medium Enterprise (SME).
Many large companies have applied AMT and the applications have shown
significant results in this global market era. Conveniently, these phenomenons
are also engaged to Small Medium Enterprises (SME) that of high demands on
performing high quality product, fast delivery, reliable and more flexible. The
implementation of AMT follows several processes namely pre installation,
installation, improvement and mature. In order to guarantee the succesfull of
running these processes, one should consider the Critical Success Factors
(CSF). We conducted a survey to 125 SMEs that have implemented AMT, and found
that the CSF for each process is moderately different. Good leadership is the
main critical success factor for preparing and installation of the AMT. Once
the AMT started or installed and arrived at growth stage, the financial
availability factor turns into a critical success factor in the AMT
implementation. In, mature stage, the support and commitment of top management
becomes an important factor for gaining successful implementation. By means of
factor analysis, we could point out that strategic factor is the main factor in
pre-installation and installation stage. Finally, in the growth stage and
mature stage, both tactical and strategic factors are the important factors in
the successful of AMT implementation.
