Organizational changes in the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies

In order for the adoption of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) to provide competitive advantages to the companies, it is necessary to select these technologies according to criteria that consider strategic aspects. The organizational characteristics of a company influence particularly the process of AMT adoption, in such a way that it is necessary to develop recommendations for the review of the organizational project. The present work proposes a process for the generation of these recommendations, which through a methodology called 'successive refinements' produces a set of recommendations for the review of the organizational project, based on requirements established by the AMT adoption process. These recommendations are a set of decisions that may be taken about the organizational project to adapt them to demands of the new technology to be introduced, in other words, the AMT implementation.
