What is Advanced Manufacturing?
• Advanced Manufacturing is the use of
innovative technology to improve products or
processes, with the relevant technology being
described as "advanced," "innovative," or
"cutting edge."

• Advanced Manufacturing industries

"increasingly” integrate new innovative
technologies in both products and processes.

• Advanced Manufacturing helps companies

out perform their competitors and build products
faster and better than other companies in the
same industry.
Lets think of some different
companies in the same industry
that would compete against
each other?

Example = Toyota & General Motors (GM)

What is Advanced Manufacturing?

• Advanced manufacturing is a more flexible

technique that can be specifically adjusted to
changing needs. Instead of building in orders
to put products into stock for later
sale, advanced manufacturing takes a
different approach. It builds for immediate, or
nearly immediate, sale.
