Abstract: This research reports findings of a multisector study of Indian manufacturing companies. It included four industry sectors, that is, automobile, electronics, machinery and process. Responses from 257 manufacturing managers are analysed and presented. It is observed that Indian companies are investing more in 'administrative AMT' to simplify the system; 'indirect AMT' is their second preferred choice to integrate the various systems, and finally to automate the manufacturing systems the companies are investing in 'direct AMT'. It seems Indian manufacturing companies follow Simplify – Integrate – Automate (SIA) model.

Keywords: advanced manufacturing technology; AMT implementation; multisector companies; direct AMT; indirect AMT; administrative AMT; manufacturing systems; India; automobile industry; automotive technology; electronics industry; machinery industry; process industry.
