TLDR
In this paper, an agile manufacturing model using structural equation modelling (SEM) is proposed to deal with turbulent market changes and the responsive actions of the manufacturing firm, in terms of process, tooling, material and trained experts.Abstract:
The main objective of this study was to create an agile manufacturing (AM) model and to validate the model using structural equation modelling (SEM). AM concentrates on turbulent market changes and the responsive actions of the manufacturing firm, in terms of process, tooling, material and trained experts. The AM model consists of five major drivers of agility, namely the workforce, manufacturing management, manufacturing strategy, manufacturing technology and organisational structure. After development of the AM model, a questionnaire was prepared and data collected from 30 automotive organisations located in Tamil Nadu, India. After data collection, the SEM approach was used to conduct a statistical validation. The results indicate the validity and reliability of AM constructs.read more

Antecedents and Enablers of Supply Chain Agility and its Effect on Performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental building blocks of supply chain agility are conceptualized as supply- and demand-side competence, which are viewed as enabler (moderator) on the relationship between supply chain competencies and supply-chain agility.

Prioritisation of operations improvement projects in the European manufacturing industry
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how European manufacturing organizations conduct this activity and highlight the importance of objectively prioritising improvement projects and establish that the adoption of this method increases through the implementation of improvement methodologies, especially those that stipulate the use of objective methods towards project prioritisation.

Coefficient alpha and the internal structure of tests.
TL;DR: In this paper, a general formula (α) of which a special case is the Kuder-Richardson coefficient of equivalence is shown to be the mean of all split-half coefficients resulting from different splittings of a test, therefore an estimate of the correlation between two random samples of items from a universe of items like those in the test.
