The implementation of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMT) and its relationship with firms’ manufacturing and business performance have been the subject of active research in recent years. However, the findings of almost all studies are based on data collected in developed countries. This study examines investments in AMT and its relationship with firms’ manufacturing and business performance, using survey responses from 28 manufacturing firms in Turkey, a developing country. Four major conclusions are drawn from this research. First, the implementation of all individual AMTs increased significantly during the five-year research horizon (1996- 2001) in the Turkish manufacturing firms. Moreover, among 12 AMTs, CAD, CNC, CAM and MRPII are the most frequently used, while robotics, automated diagnosis and material handling systems are the least used. Second, environmental dynamism has a significant effect on the implementation of AMT. Third, correlation analysis indicates that there are significant positive correlations between the importance that firms place on each objective and the level of satisfaction with the achievement of that objective. Finally, the results of correlation analysis clearly indicate that there is a significantly positive relationship between AMT and both manufacturing and business performance.

Increasing role of services in competitive power and innovativeness of firms and industrial clusters
Eraydın, Ayda (2007-01-01)
The aim of this paper is to discuss the importance of different types of global services for industrial firms and clusters in terms of their economic competitiveness and innovative performance. The theoretical debates argue that globalization, deregulation and the new production organization make it necessary to use global services that are supplied easily with the help of new telecommunication technologies. The existing empirical studies provide some supporting evidence. However, they also indicate that gl...
Influence of Stakeholders on Industrial Design Materials and Manufacturing Selection
Pedgley, Owaın Francıs (2009-04-01)
Surprisingly little is reported on the pragmatic influence of project stakeholders on industrial designers' selection of product materials and manufacturing processes. This paper reports on a descriptive scoping study that revealed these influences as critical in making effective selection decisions. Using interview and case study methods, the study elicited the professional practices of industrial designers. These are analysed in the paper, leading to the formation of a four-way stakeholder description of ...

Çelik, İlknur; Gürbüz, Tarkan (null; 2014-05-01)
The advancements in technology are accelerating the development and diffusion of new innovative e-learning solutions. The e-learning industry is growing and offering new opportunities for both formal and informal learning. Open Educational Resources (OER) movement has gained considerable attention recently as an attempt to provide digital materials that can be used, and repurposed for teaching and learning. OER are becoming very popular learning materials including full courses, textbooks, modules, syllabi,...
Using system dynamics to support strategic decision-making: the case of digitalization in modular construction company
Kaya, Hazal Deniz; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-7)
Digital technologies have become a part of the transformative change of industries for more efficient production, business models, and value chains with the onset of Industry 4.0. The AEC business had to follow this trend due to globalization and the increasing complexity of projects, and the use of digital technologies for innovation has become increasingly common. However, it is common knowledge that the construction industry takes a long time to incorporate new technology and adapt business models to dig...
