Benefits of AMT:
offers opportunities for both flexibility and integration
INVESTMENT APPRAISAL OF AMT
Flexibility refers to the use of AMT for different products
with the facility to switch rapidly between them
its usefulness is not limited to the particular purpose
for which it was purchased
thus, increasing its useful life
Integration refers to the linking of previously separate
functions
eg. linking design to production (CAD/CAM)
3Traditional measurements
are seen as inappropriate . . . .
Focusing attention on savings direct labor costs
Criteria adopted for payback period or discounts
/ hurdle rates are short term analysis
Flexibility and integration are underemphasized
Accounting has been the crucial factor which
militates against adoption of AMT
Therefore, restrict the ability to compete in world
markets

1. Payback
ignores time value of money
ignores cash flows outside the pay back period
emphasis on short term
TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES
3. Internal rate of return (IRR)
optimistic reinvestment assumption
2. Accounting rate of return (ARR)
ignores time value of money
lead to high rate of return (very deceiving)
profits based on historic cost convention is used
to compare investment value
6
4. Net present value (NPV)
Single absolute number
TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES …2
5. Modified internal rate of return (MIRR)
Advantage: implicit reinvestment assumption at
the rate of cost of capital
Disadvantage: the discount rate used may be too
pessimistic
Might lead to wrong signal as to which project is
financially preferable

9Reasons For The Use of Payback
and IRR Techniques
Increasing use of discounted cash flows method (DCF)
in UK and US firms
Use alongside with payback and ARR
REASONS: PAYBACK
Simplicity of calculation and understanding
Help in assessing time-related risk by encouraging
quick returns
Especially when liquidity is a problem
Complementing other more sophisticated methods
10Reasons For The Use of Payback
and IRR Techniques …2
REASONS: IRR
Convenient for ranking projects (while NPV has
got to be converted into profitability index (PI)
Implicit reinvestment assumptions
Calculations does not require prior specification
of discount or hurdle rate
The measure is expressed in percentage terms
rather than absolute figure as in NPV
11CRITERIA IN USE - TRADITIONAL
High discount rates
Kaplan and Atkinson (1989) noted 20%-25% discount
rates in USA
In UK, similar to US
Short payback period
in UK, 75% required payback of 3 years or less
Adjust inappropriately for risk
Increase hurdle rate
reduce payback periods
12Incorrect use of nominal discount rate to
discount current price cash flow
Use of discount rates based on money market rates eg.
returns available to equity holder
Market rate takes accounts of inflation
When inflation high, interest rates rise
Project cash flow should also take account of inflation
If not, it will underestimate the PV of a cash flow
And thus rejecting a profitable projects
Neglecting tax shield effect on debt finance
Interest paid on debt is tax deductible
Reduces the cost of debt

14MEASUREMENT IN USE UNDER
AMT ENVIRONMENT
Important factors ie. benefits of AMT must be quantified
either precisely or based on estimation
improvement in quality
greater flexibility
reduced inventory
reduction in floor space
reduction scrap, waste and rework
reduced throughput-time
reduced lead-time
reduced disruption of workflows
improved organisation learning curve
lower warranty and service costs
If too difficult
to
quantify,
they
should be
identified
as
intangible
benefits.
15INVESTMENT APPRAISAL IN JAPAN
Japanese managers include a wider array of
performance indicators (PI)
quality control cost, scrap, rework, warranty,
service costs, wastage, space saving and
machine performance
Western managers appear over-concerned with
quantitative advantages of AMT
Japan: use payback but geared to the long term of
2-5 years (Table 15.1 Ashton et al.)
Western: adopt short-term performance target
16INVESTMENT APPRAISAL IN JAPAN
…2
Japan: emphasized the value of team working and
co-operation
individual performance are assessed along with
group performance
Western: individuals could be responsible for
departmental capital budgets
Japan: evaluate real cost associated with R&D,
software development, training needs (skills
shortages) and vendor support services
Western: impose more financial pressures to support
capital projects and short term performance
17AMT STRATEGY AND
IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation of AMT strategy is company-wide responsibility and not middle-level management’s
LEVEL TERM
Top Management 5 yearsLong-range strategic plan
Director 3 yearsLong-range operational plan
Manager 1 yearsAnnual operational plan
18AMT STRATEGY AND
IMPLEMENTATION …2
Long-range strategic plan (LRSP)
covered a 5 year period
performance criteria includes financial and non-financial objectives
flexibility, quality, better service, reduced waste etc
strong engineering voice (involvement)
Long-range operational plan (LROP)
developed to cover all aspects of implementation
though top down, actually a company-wide
commitment
19AMT STRATEGY AND
IMPLEMENTATION …3
Annual operational plan (AOP)
designed to track the progress of LRSP and
LROP
introduced to monitor expenditure on capital
equipment, labour and overhead
also served to inform senior managers of
necessary changes to original performance
milestones
20TEAM WORKING AND CO-
OPERATION CULTURE
commitment to work as part
of a team
desire to work towards a
shared goal
(not personal financial gain
and promotion)
21TEAM WORKING AND CO-
OPERATION CULTURE …2
Two important cultural explanations:
1. The tradition of lifetime employment
encouraged a long-term view of one’s career goal and
conduct
one loses by leaving to join another rival firms
lose accrued benefits
treated like a junior
retrained like a non-skilled worker
2. Route to promotion is length of service, seniority and loyalty
individualism is unusual
22THE FRAGMENTATION OF AMT
DECISION MAKING
Fragmented approach refers to little
or no cross- fertilization between
functional or hierarchical levels
eg. between senior managers and
engineers
lack of team management
(Refer the following Figure)

24KEY STAGES IN THE INVESTMENT
APPRAISAL PROCESS FOR AMT (UK) …2
Project manager devises a cost proposal forecasting the
benefits of investment
The engineering manager then assess the proposed
investment according to its strategic importance
Project analyzer (eg. trainee management accountant)
will scrutinize the proposal
checking the figures and records the expected cost
savings
Accounts manager approves (rubber-stamping)
The whole process may take 9 months - 1 year.
25DIVISIONS BETWEEN
ACCOUNTANTS AND ENGINEERS
ITS IMPLICATIONS:
Accountants may fail to grasp the meaning behind engineering technology
Information may be diluted to facilitate understanding and thus lost its meaning
Leads to poor communication esp. when accountants and engineers occupy separate buildings and uses different canteens
Accountants are remote from production
Restricted in their participation in planning teams due to their narrowly specialized knowledge and skills
26DIVISIONS BETWEEN
ACCOUNTANTS AND ENGINEERS …2
EG. Application of JIT Philosophies:
Japan: perceives JIT as a holistic approach (company-wide) to world-class manufacturing status
UK: sees JIT as an inventory control system
confined JIT implementation to the responsibility of an individual engineering manager
perceives separately from technology decisions
eg preventive maintenance (PM) carried out in isolation from wider manufacturing plan
becomes sole responsibility of maintenance dept.

30DCF ANALYSIS OF AMT
- QUANTITATIVE FACTORS
Several costs and benefits may be estimated with faint degree of precision
Direct labor savings as indirect labor increases due to
industrial engineering
maintenance staff
computer support staff
Costs may now be semi variable – step like behaviour
31DCF ANALYSIS OF AMT
- QUANTITATIVE FACTORS …2
Improved throughput time
increased demand realized per ringgit of incremental investment
impact revenue projections
when process time is the cost driver, less cycle time/unit means units will have less indirect costs attached
cycle time decreases, response time is faster
therefore buffer WIP and FG is not necessary
therefore less financing cost
the opportunity cost of reducing space
32DCF ANALYSIS OF AMT
- QUANTITATIVE FACTORS …3
Reduction in set up times dues to programmable machine changes
Reduced quality errors due to improved machinery tolerance and product inspection scanners
Reduction in post sale warranty cost

DCF ANALYSIS OF AMT
- QUALITATIVE FACTORS
34DCF ANALYSIS OF AMT
- QUALITATIVE FACTORS …2
Depreciation on Machinery:
Due to technological change (qualitative),
difficult to predict:
useful economic life
equipment residual values
future operating costs (technological
learning process and technological
change)
35DCF ANALYSIS OF AMT
- QUALITATIVE FACTORS …3
Real time performance feedback -
intangible benefit
rather than periodic accounting
Instantaneous feedback permits:
immediate identification of problem production
areas
allow corresponding action before entire
damage
prevent the incurrence of production overrun
36STRATEGIC PRODUCTION
ADVANTAGES - FMS
Eg. Should a competitor adopt an FMS, it
enables:
greater product heterogeneity
more customized service
greater product reliability
shorter lead time
If it does not adopt, it will cease to be a
player in the marketplace
37STRATEGIC PRODUCTION
ADVANTAGES – FMS …2
Strategic decisions involve overall corporate goals:
market share
product reliability
customer satisfaction
improved production performance
none of these benefits are readily quantifiable
38INVESTMENT APPRAISAL - CAD
Real justification for CAD is fivefold:
process innovation
product innovation
better quality
ability to undertake complex design work
ease modification/retrieval
Investing in CAD enables greater design
creativity
lead to design products with fewer parts
thus benefits reach all areas of production cost
eg inventory management and product reliability
39INVESTMENT APPRAISAL – CAD …2
Comparing manual and automated design
work:
CAD permits more complex modifications to
be performed in a simpler manner
leads to a greater retrieval rate
reduce design lead times as drawings reach
production much quickly
time-savings in modifications of existing
drawings
able to compete in the domestic and
international market-place
40INVESTMENT APPRAISAL – CAD …3
DCF is not appropriate to capital projects of
this type
Implementing new technology could costs
more than the price of the hardware and
software packages
Eg. training, hours of intellectual effort, pain-
staking attention
If true costs of AMT were known, there would
not be any future investment
41STRATEGIC BENEFITS OF CAD
Case: Simmonds Precision Products
justify investment purely for strategic reason
no attempt were made to quantify them
Strengthening the organisation’s visibility in the
marketplace
enabling production of high quality low cost
production with fewer errors
faster customer turnaround
more integration of manufacturing engineering
