ABSTRACT
This research paper discusses an overview of manufacturing technologies and explains the
reasons why companies should adopt them in the process of manufacturing. These technologies
are motivating companies to compete concurrently along numerous dissimilar dimensions:
manufacturing, designs, communication distribution, auctions and many others. Advanced
manufacturing technologies are the technologies aided by the computers in the design, testing,
manufacturing and transportation. The advanced manufacturing technologies give the
organisations with the opportunity to combat the market dynamics successfully and create
competitive advantages. Development in advanced manufacturing technology at many
organizational levels can be attribute t much importance that improve the positions for
competitions of the adopting companies. The advanced manufacturing technologies impact the
manufacturing processes and the whole operation of
INTRODUCTION
Manufacturing technology gives the implements that allow the creation of all the goods that are
being manufactured. These implements of the industry expand the strength of the workers and

offer the industrial notion the power to change the raw material into the inexpensive, worth
goods important to society of currently. Manufacturing technology gives the industrious tools
that enhance the stable developing economy and increasing living standards. These apparatuses
produce the means that provide efficient nationwide defense. They make potential modern
communication, inexpensive products of agriculture, good transportation, exploration of the
space and innovative procedures for medical.
Progress in human society has been accomplished by the establishment of new technologies.
Quick changes in the market demand reduced the life cycles of the products and products of
great quality at the economical prices. This occurrence has encouraged the manufacturing
companies to look for the advanced mechanization of computers in many procedures. Hence the
mass creation is being substituted by a high variety and low volume manufacturing.
Development in advanced manufacturing technology at many administrative levels can be
endorsed to many importance that improves the positions for competitions of the adopting
companies. The advanced manufacturing technologies impact the manufacturing processes and
the whole operation of the businesses.

LITERATURE REVIEW
The literature based on the advanced manufacturing technologies can be divided into the
dissimilar groups as follows[ CITATION The11 \l 1033 ]:
Design and engineering technologies: (CAD) and (CAPP)
Machines assembly technology: DNC machines, intermediate systems, robots and
material working laser (MWL)
Automated materials for handling technologies: automate retrieval and storage systems
(AS/RS) an automated system for handling materials (AMHS)
Automated testing and inspection materials: automated testing and inspection equipment
(AITE) and integrated systems
Flexible manufacturing technologies: FMS
Computer integrated systems for manufacturing : (CIM)
Systems related to logistics: just in time, requirement of material planning, and
manufacturing resource planning.
Computer integrated manufacturing is known as the use of the machinery controlled by the
computer and the systems for automation in the manufacturing products. The CIM integrates
numerous technologies like the CAD and CAM to give the manufacturing process that is free
