Factors Influencing the Application of Multidimensional Advanced Manufacturing Technology Based on a Binary Logistic Model:Taking Equipment Manufacturing Enterprises as an Example

Abstract

The objective of this article was to identify the success factors influencing the application of multidimensional advanced manufacturing technology (AMT). This article was based on the social–technical system (STS) model and constructs a theoretical model for AMT application and summarizes the key factors that affect application. Taking Tianjin equipment manufacturing enterprises as an example, and based on the microsurvey data of 193 enterprises, this article presents a binary logistic analysis of AMT application. The results revealed significant differences in the application level of multidimensional AMT from the standpoint of the influencing mechanism of various factors. Job autonomy and the generation of new ideas were the decisive factors influencing the application of design AMT. In addition, the diversity of skills and team cooperation exerted a certain impact on the application of manufacturing AMT. The key influencing factors of administrative AMT were found to be team cooperation and the generation of new ideas. Notably, the implementation of new ideas, knowledge creation institutions, innovation intermediaries, and production cooperation institutions displayed remarkable consistency in the application of the three types of AMT. Finally, this article proposes some suggestions to increase the application level of different AMT types.
