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.
