“…Variables associated to agility have been already identified in the earlier section, they are: flexibility (1), speed of response (2), lead time reduction (3), cost reduction (4), innovation (5), robustness (6), productivity (7), variety (8), dynamism (9), quality (10). For analyzing parameters of supply chain agility, a contextual relationship of "leads to" type is chosen.…”

Changing customerand business requirements force manufacturers to develop agility in order to be competitive. Agility refers to the skill to respond to unexpected needs of the market. This paper presents the essence of agile supply chain (ASC) and contributes to the existing literature on ASC by highlighting the various parameters that affect the agility of an ASC. More specifically, this paper aims at deriving an interrelationship among these parameters with the help of interpretive structural modeling. It also answers an important research question that is, what precisely is agility and how it can be measured in the form of an agility index, using a tool called comprehensive agility measurement tool. Moreover, the importance of agility as a tool to survive in the volatile market as the new dimension of this particular research domain has been discussed.

“…As we discussed earlier, flexibility has been considered as a competence that helps build capabilities in risk management, sustainability and agility (e.g. Shukla, Deshmukh and Kanda 2010;Chiang et al 2012;Bag and Gupta 2017). Yet, we understand little in the underlying mechanism, in other words the 'how'.…”

“…The early works relating environmentally conscious design and manufacturing (Zhang et al, 1997), green manufacturing with product recovery Sakao(2009), Remanufacturing Bras & McIntosh, (1999 and Production planning and control for remanufacturing Guide (2000) provide important basic insights with regard to green production than the conventional interest on cost, functionality and manufacturability alone. Later, Design For Environment (DFE) (Fiksel & Fiksel, 1996;Cristofari, 1996;Deshmukh, 2010;Wang, 2003;Bevilacqua,2007), Quality Function Deployment (QFD), QFD II, Zhang, (1999); QFD III, Mehta (2001); and LCA (Zhang, 1999;Mehta, 2001;Sakao 2009 ;Bovea & Wang, 2003 ;Bovea, 2012) were the methods tried out for reasonable reality to achieve green in manufacturing context and today we find the combinations of these methods employed by researchers for better pragmatic solutions to achieve greening. The generic term Design For X (DFX) is discussed as design for manufacturing, design for quality, etc.…”
