    2 Author(s):  ARISHU KAUSHIK, DOORDARSHI SINGH

Abstract

Small and Medium enterprises (SMEs) contribute significantly towards the fulfilment of major requirements, employment, and economy of the country. Advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) reflect the progress made by the humans. The implementation of this technology in SMEs has proved to be beneficial in bringing flexibility, improving quality and enhancing the performance. This paper conducts a comprehensive review on various aspects of AMTs like advantages of AMTs, the role of AMTs in SMEs, classification of AMTs and the barriers in adoption and implementation of AMTs. Literature was reviewed in a way that will assist researchers, academicians, and practitioners to take a closer and detailed look.
