Abstract

Agile manufacturing, as a new manufacturing paradigm, requires a systematic study of its enablers to aid in successful adoption and implementation of the concept and practice. This study identifies and determines a relationship among the various enablers for the agile manufacturing philosophy. A systemic relationship among various enablers help to identify for researchers and industry the complexities and dynamics involved in the nurturing and implementation of agile manufacturing in an effective and appropriate manner. Enablers are identified and supported from various literary sources. The systemic relationship among these enablers is developed using Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM).
