First published in 1998, this volume was designed to lead to an
operational model of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT)
decision making which incorporated the mathematics of fuzzy set
theory. The rapid advancement of robotics, automated technologies
and software such as CAD and CAM have made such studies paramount.
Here, analyses of a questionnaire survey and field study of major
UK manufacturing companies together provide a simulating portrayal
of AMT investment decision making and have been expanded upon with
a model using fuzzy set theory.

In order to be successful in today's world wide competitive
environment, companies must be capable of manufacturing products of
high quality at low cost and providing a first-class customer
service. Many companies have responded to these competitive demands
by implementing Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMTs) and
Innovative Managerial Practices (IMPs) as well as emphasising
quality, delivery, innovation and flexibility to meet customer
needs in their corporate objectives. The adoption of such practices
and technologies and the redesign of work processes has altered the
stakes of corporate well being over the past two decades.
This study provides a framework for exploring the relationships
between the measurement of non-financial performance at the
shop-floor of manufacturing firms across four different countries
(UK, Italy, Japan, and Canada) and a range of twenty-eight
contingent factors incorporating technological, managerial,
organisational and environmental factors. In particular, the book
examines whether these twenty-eight contingent factors are
associated with the existence and importance of 19 non-financial
performance measures used at shop-floor level for each country. The
book also aims to develop models for each of the four countries
which will determine the amount of change in the use and existence
of each shop-floor non-financial performance measure that is
associated with levels of the contingent factors.
A better understanding of non-financial performance measures at
shop-floor level in manufacturing firms will contribute to a more
effective management of manufacturing enterprises in the four
countries. It also will enhance organisations??? knowledge aboutthe
use of non-financial measures in performance measurement systems.
A comprehensive review of contemporary research in management
accounting. Provides a thorough critical analysis of recent issues
published in the management accounting literature and identifies
gaps for future research in each issue reviewed.
This is an examination of the impact of Enterprise Resource
Planning systems on management accounting systems, exploring
management accountants' roles and relations in transitional
countries. This is the first empirical study on Enterprise Resource
Planning in a transitional country. It provides a unique detailed
investigation of current management accounting practices and an
indication of future trends. It explores the future role of
management accounting within the modern enterprise. It addresses
the important issue of the role of enterprise resource planning in
changing management accounting practices. An investigation into the
process of management accounting change triggered by IT
implementation, comparing Enterprise Resource Planning with custom
software in relation to change in management accounting rules and
routines. This empirical study is based on four real cases from a
transitional country (Egypt).
