On the Measurement of Enterprise Agility
@article{Tsourveloudis2002OnTM, title={On the Measurement of Enterprise Agility}, author={Nikos C. Tsourveloudis and Kimon P. Valavanis}, journal={Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems}, year={2002}, volume={33}, pages={329-342} }
Agility metrics are difficult to define in general, mainly due to the multidimensionality and vagueness of the concept of agility itself. In this paper, a knowledge-based framework is proposed and presented as a candidate solution for the measurement and assessment of manufacturing agility. Given an enterprise, in order to calculate its overall agility, a set of quantitatively defined agility parameters is proposed and grouped into production, market, people and information infrastructures. The…

Fuzzy Approach to Measure Manufacturing Agility along with Developing Fuzzy Inference Systems in MATLAB
- Computer Science, Business
- 2012
Fuzzy inference systems (FIS) are designed, in several steps: fuzzification, aggregation of antecedents, inferencing, composition, and defuzzification, where the key idea of the model in measurement is the involvement of all distinct dimensions and corresponding operational parameters in the determination of the overall agility.
