“…Section 2 presents literature review on fit manufacturing and fitness evaluation; Section 3 presents the methodology; Section 4 presents conceptual model for fitness evaluation; Section 5 presents case study; Section 6 presents results and discussions; Section 7 presents the conclusions. Pham et al (2007) proposed concepts for companies to identify their chance of economic sustainability and to survive in the competitive market. The authors mentioned that fit manufacturing is achieved by integrating principles of lean manufacturing, agile manufacturing and sustainability.…”

“…The criteria for lean manufacturing and agile manufacturing are presented and grouped into four categories referred to as the basic aspects of a manufacturing system, namely: company/organization, manufacturing processes, hardware/software technologies and customer/supplier relationships. Pham et al (2010) developed a model capable of overcoming modern manufacturing challenges and providing strategies and business solutions for sustaining in the competitive environment. In this paper, the authors suggested that fitness of an organization links four major manufacturing themes which 562 JMTM 26,4 include strategy, leadership, process and technology into a cohesive framework to deliver sustainability solution for industry.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a comprehensive model for fitness evaluation and to determine fitness index using fuzzy methods. Design/methodology/approach – The conceptual model for fitness evaluation was developed by literature review. The case study was conducted in an Indian pump manufacturing company. The assessment of fitness index was done using multi-grade fuzzy and fuzzy logic approaches. The fitness index was computed. The obstacles were identified and analysed for improvements. Findings – The fitness index was found to be 6.8724 which revealed that the organization was fit. Euclidean distance method was used to match fitness index with fitness level. The weaker attributes were identified and proposals were derived for improvements. Research limitations/implications – The developed model was test implemented in a single manufacturing organization. The study could be extended for other organizations in future. Practical implications – The case study was conducted in an Indian pump manufacturing organization. The insights derived from the study have practical propensity. Originality/value – The model for fitness evaluation and assessment of fitness index were original and novel contributions of the authors.
