The correlations between enablers of AMTs' utilization and manufacturing performance parameters have been evaluated and validated by employing various statistical tools. Findings - The paper focuses upon significant contributions of AMTs' success factors namely: education and training of employees; interdisciplinary team formation; rewards and recognition to employees; and industry‐institute interaction, towards affecting improvements in manufacturing performance in Indian industry. The inter‐relationships between various AMTs' utilization success factors with the manufacturing performance parameters have been evaluated. Research limitations/implications - The study has been conducted only in Northern Indian manufacturing organizations.
