The Small-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in both developed and developing country economies. To remain competitive, SMEs must adopt strategic technologies and innovative management practices to survive. In finding ways to increase competitiveness and productivity, the use of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) is one alternative for SMEs to become or remain competitive. This paper presents the detailed survey carried out to find out the contribution of AMTs in SMEs. This paper reveals the motives of implementing AMTs and its benefits to SMEs. The survey shows that the most important motive of SMEs is to attain customer satisfaction.
