In the most recent decades, managers have turned to the concepts and practices of quality management, just-in time manufacturing, and business process reengineering, to name a few, in an effort to create competitive advantage for their businesses. This paper examines some proven ways to enhance a company's agility in the face of a dynamic marketDiace. These proven manufacturing practices include: (1) achieving strategic flexibility, (2) converting to a demand-pull production system, (3) maximizing the potential of integrated information systems, and (4) enhancing workforce productivity. |
