When facing competition-particularly fierce competition-it's important to know all you can about your adversary and their weapons, the battlefield on which the fight will take place, and the best time to strike or retreat. In other words, knowledge is power, and the ability to remain flexible and fast to emerging or changing developments is a tremendous tactical advantage.

So, how to go for agile manufacuring??

Fast Supply Deliveries

idea posted by Surabhi Sinha Project Manager, Ispat Inds

If you want to have the agile advantage then you need to have a very fast supply of all the raw materials you need in your plant. This will speed up the process of manufacturing thus giving you an competitive advantage over others.

Agile Manufacturing

idea posted by AJITH ALEX JACOB Supply CHain Specialist, JDA Software
It all depends on what kind of product the firm is manufacturing. If it is a high volume, low cost product which requires effieciency, lean would be the answer. However, if the product is low volume, high cost which requires responsiveness, the answer is agile. The are couple of ways to go agile, for starters, by identifying the decoupling point in the supply chain. second to identify the time vs cost required to market a product and so on. Third, postponement, standardisation, modularisation and interchangibility. Concurrency and Virtual engineering can be implemented to both type of products. however, fast supply deliveries can be reserved for agile systems alone as cost to deliver ought to be significantly less than profits earned
