In
this study, advanced production and management technologies
which are implemented in Turkey Automotive Sector have been
examined. The factors such as the aims of implementation of
ATs, the levels attainable to aims and the
factors blocking the usage have been evaluated.
In use of
advanced technology in sector, the result of that many goals
have been targeted to perform has been achieved. In use of APTs,
as the factors especially that are “speeding up and shortening
the production process”, “quality improvement”, “reducing
costs”, “increasing production” are considered the important
aims; and, in use of AMTs, the factor that is “ensuring
effective and efficient working environment to take advantage of
human resources at the highest level” comes to the fore. The
leading one of the factors blocking the use of advanced
production technology has been seen to be “financial problems.
When evaluating that case along with the result of that advanced
technologies are the most important factor affecting competitive
tools, it can be stated that the companies have an idea that
there is a compulsory to overcome this problem. Also, in sector,
it has been achieved that the result of the important aims
between today and the future in concern with the concentration
