The objective of this study is to assess the critical factors which influence utilization of the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines specifically CNC Lathe, CNC Milling, CNC 3-Axis, and CNC 5-Axis which are all considered an Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMTs). This study also identifies the hurdles and barriers which prevent from accomplishing the desired goals of AMTs utilization. The proposed framework has synthesized previous studies and integrated related studies through conducting a comprehensive literature review. This paper is a theoretical construction that synthesizes previous studies, and centers on three contexts (Perceived Design Capacity, Perceived Performance Efficiency and Manpower Competency) which influence utilization of the said AMT's. This model can provide fabrication industries or fabricators specifically those utilizing CNC machines in their daily operation …
