Abstract
This paper presents the results of a select survey of medium and top managers concerning the justification procedures used for advanced manufacturing technologies in their firms. It describes the techniques used as well as the results for eight different types of new manufacturing technologies. It also probes into the managers' attitudes about such justification procedures and the difficulties in using them. Finally, the overall thrust of open-ended comments relating to their experiences with justifying, planning for, and implementing such technologies is discussed.Keywords
