Abstract

The immense competition in the global market has made it utterly difficult for businesses, especially manufacturers to improve and develop. To cope with this huge competition, manufacturers have no choice but to adopt new technology to develop and be competitors. Their goals and objectives can be satisfied by the application of Advance Manufacturing Technology (AMT). This paper assists managers of the industry in considering all the important criteria for various AMT selections, when purchasing new technology. In addition, it helps those, interested in buying robots, to adopt and apply the necessary criteria.

Keywords: Advanced Manufacturing Technology(AMT), Robot selection, Technology.
