Agile Manufacturing

ABSTRACT

As the whole world is aligning itself to new standards, the industry has to meet the challenges and realign itself to satisfy the customer’s demands. Thus arise various production techniques and competitive management standards. A concept which arose in U.S.A in1990 called AGILITY is the subject of this seminar. This seminar aims to throw light into the concept and philosophy of agility and how it can be used in manufacturing. It also helps to learn the pillars on which it is built. Some case studies are also included to show the effect of various pillars.
