Questionnaire Development for the Evaluation of Agility Index in an Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) Industry

A questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of a series of questions and other prompts for the purpose of gathering information from respondents. Although they are often designed for statistical analysis of the responses, this is not always the case. The agility index is defined as a combination of timeliness and profitability. Both timeliness and profitability refers to the performance of a company at a strategic level. This paper discusses about the key factors to be considered and the procedure to be followed while constructing a questionnaire for evaluating the agility index in an original equipment manufacturing industry.Key words: Agility index, Questionnaires, Statistical Analysis.
