Advanced Manufacturing Leadership

Advanced Manufacturing has been defined for our purposes using the following definitions.
Advanced Manufacturing firms straddle most manufacturing industries and can be defined as the firms that utilise sophisticated technologies requiring high levels of skill. (North & Western Adelaide - Creating Employment Links Report)
"Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMTs) involve new manufacturing techniques and machines continued with the application of information technology, micro electronics and new organisational practices within the manufacturing sector." (Industry Canada.)
