Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) for agile manufacturing (AM) and to propose a methodology for its performance evaluation. Design/methodology/approach The proposed methodology was developed using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP)...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine the agility level of a manufacturing system along different timelines. Design/methodology/approach – The fuzzy synthetic extents of agile manufacturing enablers (AMEs), on the basis of their importance, are determined. Then they are...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify, quantify and establish relationship (i.e. cause and effect) among various supplier development program enablers (SDPEs) in a specific manufacturing environment. Design/methodology/approach – The proposed methodology runs into four phases,...
