Leagile manufacturing in air compressor manufacturing industry: a literature perspective

This paper reports a literature survey which was carried out from the perspective of implementing leagile manufacturing paradigm in air compressor manufacturing industry. Leagile manufacturing paradigm is incorporated with lean and agile manufacturing principles. This literature survey was conducted in three phases. In the first phase, the researches on leagile manufacturing were surveyed. During the second phase of the literature survey, the research papers reporting the literature reviews containing the air compressor based researches were reviewed. During the third phase of conducting this literature survey, it was found that so far no efforts for examining the implementation of leagile manufacturing paradigm in air compressor industry have been made by the researchers The paper is concluded by indicating the need of designing an implementation model and conducting case studies to practically validate this model for implementing leagile manufacturing paradigm air compressor manufacturing industry to acquire competitive strength.
