A REVIEW ON AGILE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM

During the recent years, competition is intensified due to the globalisation and entry of several players in markets. This situation has facilitated the modern customers to demand innovative products and models in varied volumes. In order to fulfil this customer demand, it is necessary for the traditional manufacturing companies to practice agile manufacturing (AM) principles. On adoption of AM, a traditional company can exhibit agility by which it reacts quickly to meet the customers' dynamic demands. In this paper, we review a wide range of recent literature on agile manufacturing. About 42 papers from premier scientific journals and conferences have been reviewed. We critique these bodies of work and suggest directions for additional research and identify topics where fruitful opportunities exist.
