TL;DR
Evidence is presented regarding the importance of compatibility standards in determining the timing of adoptions of FMS technology and the pattern of diffusion of flexible manufacturing systems technology across firms in the U.S. tooling and machining industry is examined.
Abstract
This paper examines the pattern of diffusion of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) technology across firms in the U.S. tooling and machining industry. Evidence is presented regarding the importance of compatibility standards in determining the timing of adoptions of FMS technology.
