Abstract

This paper proposes a decision support model guiding technology managers in evaluating and selecting proper technologies for their organization. In this study, the Technology Value Model is applied along with a case study of machine selection for slider fabrication of hard disk drive manufacturing. The findings of this study indicate that the proposed model with five factors can solve the past problems in which only cost and throughput were concerned. It is anticipated that will be able to support decision making in selecting complicate machines.
