Submitted by: ARCHANA KUMARI 05002082013

AGILITY ECONOMY OF EASE OR FLEXIBILITYAgility is defined as the ability to thrive and prosper in competitive environment of continuous and unanticipated changes and accordingly respond fastly to rapidly changing market and customer demand.

DefinitionAgile manufacturing is a flexible manufacturing model that enables manufacturer to build and deliver a wider mix of customized products fastly and cost effectively.

The impact of globalization has led to development of agile manufacturing. Its a revolutionary approach which opens a pathway for using new and emerging technology.

2

DefinitionsAgile manufacturing is the science of business system that integrates management ,technology and workforce ,making system flexible enough for a manufacturer to switch over from one component that is being produced to another component that is desired to be produced in cost effective manner in short time within framework of system.

Principles of AMCustomer prosperity- enrich the customerFitness for change- master change and uncertaintyStrengthening resources - workforce and informationVirtual organization - cooperate to compete

4

Customer prosperityContinuous market analysisCustomer driven qualityIntense customer focusThey must sell solution rather then productEven Understand competitors products if you have to fully satisfy your customer.Example: Hondas new range of bikes comes with an electronic key containing information that changes the performance of the machine according to riders choice.

5

Master change and uncertainty

Flexibility in organizational structure along with flexible equipment.Process reengineeringIntense customer focus Customer driven qualitynetworksEmployees who works in a agile organization are like the sensors of the company who will first to recognize changes.Therefor they must be given local decision making authority to act on these changes.Leadership, motivation and trust is necessary in organization structure.Excellent communication.Agile organization will have smaller production and service centers geographically spread out.

Ex-the worldwide network of Dell computers and their extended organization.

6

Workforce and informationExploit all skill and knowledgeContinuous communicationTeaming and trust Open learning value based compensationNetworks

Example:IBMS worldwide information system linking their 350 partner companies.

7

Cooperate to competeChoose to partnerPartnering codesIp managementVirtual work skillsnetworksExample: cooperative venture between HP and Intel to develop the 64-bit Itanium processor.

Sustainable agil manufacturing

Agile manufacturer is more flexible manufacturing model then the flexible manufacturing itself that enables sustainability to manufacturers to build and deliver a wider mix of customized products fast and cost effectively.

4 strategies to bring agility in any organisation

to achieve this integration we need to design interdisciplinary design methodologies

there are many different form of integration .integration of technology is the only one narrow view of integration.

need to develop a strategy to become agile. focus on the way to achieve integration of organization ,people and technology.

10

Agile manufacturing approach

AMA recognizes as an interdisciplinary activity that requires seamless integration of technology,management,information system ,workforce etcIt approaches these aspects holistically rather than taking individually It encompasses not only critical operation within the corporation such as product ,process engineering, administration and marketing sells but also outside the corporation like vendors, suppliers ,customer ,community, government,Agile manufacturing includes entire business process ,designTooling,machines,material and inventories.

AMA

Reuirement of AM

A flat,fast,flexible organization with excellent communicationHighly decentralized management that recognizes knowledge baseMultiskilled and flexible labor force .Complete mastery of lean production and reverse engineering.Flexible tooling and automationFlexible strategies and relationships with suppliers and even direct competitors.

13

Essential Condition for agility

Employees must be properly trainedThere needs to be shared visionThere needs to be a whole new set of values for rapid culture change .Manager must trust employee.Overall culture of organization must support risk-takingNot managed as a part of business system.The reward system needs to be structured.

14

Advantage of agile manufacturing

Change from standardization to post standardization.Shift from specialization to collaboration .Shift from the constraints of time and placeTrend away from concentration towards diversification.Movement from maximization to appropriate scale.Trend away from centralization toward decentralization.Lead to sustainability in manufacturing.

15

AGILE MANUFACTURING a step from lean manufacturingLean manufacturing allows greater price flexibility. its all about minimizing money in in raw material,WIP and inventories.Whereas agile manufacturing is all about incorporating any change easily and satisfy customer demand quickly. without significant capital loss new models can be made.Lean manufacturing minimizes inventory cost through efficient purchasing and distribution.Agile manufacturing uses fewer people and relay more on automation than lean manufacturing.
