Abstract

This paper reports a research that was carried out to study the theory and practice of enhancing 'total agility level' (TAL) in organisational scenario. During this research, a literature survey was carried out to identify the missing links of the 'agile manufacturing' (AM) researches, which are to be networked for enhancing the TAL of contemporary organisations. Subsequently, a model named as 'model for enhancing total agility level' (METAL) was designed to network these identified missing links. The practicality of METAL was examined in the case of producing regenerative air dryer. This examination revealed that METAL is a practically compatible model in enabling the contemporary organisations to identify and strengthen weak AM criteria and subsequently to enhance the TAL value. Future researches shall be carried out to further strengthen the practical compatibility of METAL by conducting many more case studies in different kinds of organisations.
