“…Furthermore, factors that have a critical effect are notably highlighted as actions of top leadership, employee's competency and skillset, transitional organizational culture 64 , communication were some of the critical success factors identified. Furthermore, suggestions for productivity improvement through leanness techniques, stabilization of production fluctuations, improved of overall equipment efficiency were suggested through a novel approach that helped manufacturing organizations to assess and evaluate their long-term operational and strategic objectives 62 .…”

This paper aims to review various prevalent manufacturing practices, such as leanness, agility, innovativeness, and sustainability in industries. This paper further investigates the scope of interconnections between them and explores various gaps that can be used for future research. An all-inclusive systematic review of 106 research papers was done during a time frame from 1991-2020 that considered numerous aspects, such as research tools and techniques used, data gathering approaches applied (empirical, case study, and literature review studies), and further data assortment techniques were also applied based on inquiry approach of various research methodologies (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method approach). This research paper also considered characteristics, such as country of origin, targeted demography, objectives, and publication timeline. Notably, leanness, agility, innovativeness, sustainability, performance measurement, and MSMEs are well studied and analyzed in prior studies. Moreover, research findings highlighted the popularity of these practices in large-scale industries. However, very little literature supports the acceptance of these practices in manufacturing MSMEs. Moreover, the holistic effect of these practices and their interrelationship is an important aspect that has been ignored in previous studies, so there is an urge for adequate attention towards the extensive literature review in this domain. This literature review only considered manufacturing industries and excluded the service industries. Notably, this literature review enlightens the path and shows future directions for research to develop efficient, effective, and sustainable manufacturing practices for manufacturing industries. The inferences from this study may enlighten a new path for future studies related to manufacturing MSMEs.

Smart and Agile Manufacturing Framework, A Case Study for Automotive Industry

et al. 2020

Smartness and agility are two quality measures that are pragmatic to achieve a flexible, maintainable, and adaptable system in any business. The automotive industry also requires an enhanced performance matrix and refinement in the development strategies for manufacturing. The current development models used in automotive manufacturing are not optimal enough; thus, the overall expenditure is not properly managed. Therefore, it is essential to come up with flexible, agile techniques incorporating traceability methods. It overcomes the traditional manufacturing approaches that are usually inflexible, costly, and lack timely customer feedback. The article focuses on significant Requirements Management (RM) activities, including traceability mechanism, smart manufacturing process, and performance evaluation of the proposed methods in the automotive domain. We propose a manufacturing framework that follows smart agile principles along with proper traceability management. Our proposed approach overcomes the complexities generated by traditional manufacturing processes in automotive industries. It gives an insight into the future manufacturing processes in the automotive industries.

“…These tools can provide for quick development iterations and testing and offer substantially improved flexibility, which can all translate in noticeable cost reduction. The APD methodology can, as noted by Potdar et al (Potdar, Routroy, and Behera 2017;Potdar and Routroy 2018), also be implemented in industrial manufacturing, which is also a key component of a successful product market deployment. Still, Stare points to the fact that, even though many enterprises do use some components of the APD methodology, there exists a lack of systematic implementation of APD in most fields of product development (Stare 2014) (see also Raj et al (Raj et al 2013)).…”

Towards Agile Product Development – An Empirical Study on an E-Bike Drive

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Today's rapidly evolving and changing market dictates constant changes in design requirements during the development process of a product. If development teams are unable or unwilling to adapt to these changes, this will ultimately lead to an uncompetitive product. How the change in requirements will affect the development process depends on the complexity of the product and the development phase in which the change in requirements occurs. The principles of Agility and the methods that follow these principles help in the successful introduction of changes in the product development process. The paper provides guidelines for the development of complex physical products taking into account the principles of Agility. The guidelines were set based on a critical review of the e-bike drive development process.
