Abstract
This article is the first half of a series concerning advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) investment decisions. Individual problems with formalised techniques in this field are reduced by the frequency of their joint use in organisations. The article emphasises that it is important to appreciate that the nature, costs and benefits of AMT are complex and the systems have a far‐reaching impact on the organisation.Keywords
