This paper presents an overview and guidance for manufacturing companies which are preparing to invest in Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT). The purpose of this paper is to introduce AMT to Local context and explain the reasons why the company may encounter problems with adopting AMT. In...

With the more precise demands of modern engineering products, the control of surface texture together with dimensional accuracy has become more important. This paper outlines the Taguchi optimization methodology, which is applied to optimize cutting parameters in end milling operation. The study...

In this article we describe and test a theory of complementarities between design-manufacturing integration (DMI) and usage of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMT). This study extends prior AMT research by examining the role of complementary assets in explaining how AMTadoption contributes...

This paper advances research on institutional work in market constitution processes. I show how purposive, coordinated action is organized under conditions of uncertainty through practices of rendering irreducible uncertainty tolerable. Building on recent developments in institutional theories...
