目的：本文旨在为先进制造技术(AMTS)和质量管理(QM)实践对制造绩效的关系提供新的证据。设计/方法/方法-使用来自阿根廷(151家)和乌拉圭(150家)的301家制造公司的独特样本来测试AMT和QM实践之间对制造绩效的预期关系，这些公司雇用了至少20名工人，并通过对工厂经理和工程师的个人访谈进行了评估。调查结果-调查结果证明了QM实践和AMT之间的互补性，以解释增强的制造性能。虽然QM实践对制造绩效有直接影响，但AMT的影响只有在存在QM实践的情况下才显著。研究局限/影响-本文的第一个局限是数据分析的横截面特征。其次，本文不能避免基于调查研究的固有缺陷，并对其进行了分析。
Purpose – This paper aims at providing new evidence on the relationship between advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) and quality management (QM) practices on manufacturing performance. Design/methodology/approach – The expected relationship between both AMTs and QM practices on manufacturing performance are tested using a unique sample of 301 manufacturing companies from Argentina (151) and Uruguay (150), employing at least 20 workers, which have been assessed through personal interviews to plant managers and engineers. Findings – Findings evidence the complementarities between QM practices and AMTs to explain enhanced manufacturing performance. Although QM practices have a direct effect on manufacturing performance, the effects of AMTs are significant only in the presence of QM practices. Research limitations/implications – First limitation of the paper is the cross-sectional character of the data analysis. Secondly, the paper cannot avoid the disadvantages inherent in research based on surveys, es...
