“…[18,33,34,61]. On the other hand, flexibility is referred to as being a firm's ability to react to the environmental changes that occur in the supply chain and handle these changes with little damage, less time, low cost, and high performance [31,62]. Flexibility is a broader term than redundancy and varies from context to context.…”

Risk is inherent in all parts of life and brings consequences, but when it specifically emerges in supply chains, it is susceptible. Therefore, this study aims at identifying and assessing supply chain risks and developing criteria for managing these risks. Supply chain (SC) risks consist of complex, uncertain, and vague information, but risk assessment techniques in the literature have been unable to handle complexity, uncertainty, and vagueness. Therefore, this study presents a holistic approach to supply chain risk management. In this paper, neutrosophic (N) theory is merged with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) to deal with complexity, uncertainty, and vagueness. Then the proposed methodology is practically implemented through a case study on the automotive industry. SC resilience, SC agility, and SC robustness were selected as criteria for managing supply chain risks and analyzed using N-AHP. Furthermore, seventeen risks were identified and assessed by using N-TOPSIS. Results suggest supply chain resilience is the most important criterion for managing supply chain risks. Moreover, supplier delivery delays, supplier quality problems, supplier communication failures, and forecasting errors are the most vulnerable risks that occur in supply chains of the automotive industry in Pakistan.

“…3D printing technologies make it easier to produce many complicated components, which has brought about a greater degree of manufacturing flexibility (Berman 2012) for the whole business ecosystem. This identified capability highlights the collaborative nature of building manufacturing flexibility with ecosystem partners, which is different from the general flexibility focused on individual firms in firm-or network-based manufacturing systems (Jain et al 2013;Pérez Pérez, Bedia and Fernández 2016). This means that manufacturing flexibility is built upon close collaborative activities between the focal firm and key customers in Case 1 or between the focal firm, key partners and key customers in Cases 2 and 3.…”

“…There were considered 11 existing types of flexibility and were determined the relationship between them. The feature of the work of Pérez Pérez et al [26] is systematization and consideration of the main types of flexibility and comparison of their definitions in terms of hierarchy and strategy.…”

Flexible fixtures increasingly acquire an extension in up-to-date manufacturing engineering, albeit an attempt to determine the impact of the flexibility on the fixture accuracy parameters was not performed in previous research. The aim of this work is determination the opportunity to provide dimension accuracy for lever machining in the high-flexible fixture. Experimental values of displacements of the elements of the system "fixture-workpiece" for the different levels of fixture flexibility were obtained by means of finite elements analysis. On the example of levers machining it was stated that increasing the fixture flexibility allows receiving in a certain range the required dimension accuracy of the parts. Displacements were used for obtaining the mathematical model of the fixture accuracy depending on fixture flexibility. This model in case of levers machining describes by nonlinear function of evaluated flexibility indicators. The method of quasilinear evaluation of the parameters was used for identification the design flexibility by minimization of the total square deviation using the iteration procedure.
