Abstract: With globalisation, competition has become fierce for manufacturing companies. Product life has become short and the customer is appreciating more variety at a lower price. To keep pace with the global market, a manufacturing firm has to become more flexible while producing products at lower prices. The success of AMT adoption should be critically analysed in view of other critical factors. Through an extensive review of literature, this study identified 19 critical success factors (CSFs) accountable for the implementation of AMT. Data was collected with the help of a structured questionnaire, and a structural model involving 19 factors was developed using total interpretive structural modelling (TISM). Using SPSS 20 software, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was applied to extract the latent constructs for AMT implementation and to validate these constructs confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) technique of structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied through AMOS 20 software.

Keywords: modelling; AMT implementation; manufacturing; critical factors; total interpretive structural modelling; TISM; structural equation modelling; SEM.
