  • Abstract

    The objective of this study is to assess the critical factors which influence utilization of the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines specifically CNC Lathe, CNC Milling, CNC 3-Axis, and CNC 5-Axis which are all considered an Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMTs). This study also identifies the hurdles and barriers which prevent from accomplishing the desired goals of AMTs utilization. The proposed framework has synthesized previous studies and integrated related studies through conducting a comprehensive literature review. This paper is a theoretical construction that synthesizes previous studies, and centers on three contexts (Perceived Design Capacity, Perceived Performance Efficiency and Manpower Competency) which influence utilization of the said AMT's. This model can provide fabrication industries or fabricators specifically those utilizing CNC machines in their daily operation, academic institutions catering engineering fields, engineers from different fields, engineering students, research and development institutions as well as IT Practitioners and other field of study concerning the use of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machine as an Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) with practical solutions through granting in-depth understanding of whole internal, external, and technological environments, and awarding empirical insight into overcoming barriers to the utilization of AMT and other process innovations in manufacturing organizations. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the utilization rates of the CNC machine being studied against the design capacity, performance efficiency and manpower competency.
