Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the enablers for effective Advanced Manufacturing Technology
Implementation (AMT) in Indian Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by building the awareness of the critical
AMT Enablers (AMTEs) and to prioritize AMTEs which, helps in improving the effectiveness of AMT
implementation. The AMTEs specific to the Indian SMEs were finalized through a literature review and expert
opinion. The present study uses fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) methodology to prioritize AMTEs
which helps in improving the effectiveness of AMT implementation. In this study, a fuzzy analytic hierarchy
process (FAHP) approach has been used for rankings of these AMTEs. This study has attempted to identify the
significant and justifiable AMTEs for effective AMT implementation. The findings of this research may be used
for developing a confirmation-based ranking of AMTEs.
