Management of automation and advanced manufacturing technology (AAMT) in the context of global manufacturing Automation and advanced manufacturing technology solutions (AAMT) that present tangible and intangible benefits remain key drivers for manufacturers from both the developed and developing countries. However, the reality is that some manufacturing companies exploit the benefits of AAMT more effectively than others and develop their competitive advantage. Historically, the International Journal of Production Research (IJPR) has been instrumental in disseminating research on the challenges and benefits associated with new manufacturing technologies and this research has predominantly been documented from either an Operations Research (OR) or an Operations Management (OM) perspective. In the 1980s, IJPR publications drew attention to a range of OR issues including justification techniques (e.g. Mkrkdtth and Surksh 1986), layout design (e.g. Aneke and Carrie 1986), flow optimisation (e.g. Kimemia and Gershwin 1985) and distributed scheduling using local area networks (Shaw 1987). At the same time publications from an OM perspective included implementation issues (e.g.
