Adoption of Integrated Lean-Green-Agile Strategies for Modern Manufacturing Systems

Abstract

Ever increasing customer choices, environmental concerns and competitiveness among manufacturers across the globe has engaged the industry to embrace newer manufacturing strategies. Predominantly, there are three dimensions to modern manufacturing systems viz. economic, environmental and social. The integration of lean-green-agile manufacturing strategies would be a complete and comprehensive manufacturing system which is the need of the 21st century. The adoption of Lean-Green-Agile Manufacturing System (LGAMS) would be facilitated by few enablers. The influence of these enablers is a matter of investigation which is addressed by the present study. An attempt has been made to prioritize the facilitating capacity of each enabler. The outcome of the research would facilitate the policy makers in the industry and government to frame policies.
