Purpose Many types of research have already investigated the lean, green or agile manufacturing systems in a discrete manner or as combinations of two of them. In today’s competitive scenario, if industry wants to perpetuate its name in the market, then it has to supervene proper thinking and smart approach. Therefore, the combination of lean, green and agile manufacturing systems can provide better and beneficial results. The purpose of this paper is to discern the barriers to the combined lean green agile manufacturing system (LGAMS), understand their interdependence and develop a framework to enhance LGAMS by using total interpretive structural modeling (TISM) and MICMAC (Matriced’ Impacts Croise’s Multiplication Appliquée a UN Classement) Analysis. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses TISM methodology and MICMAC analysis to deduce the interrelationships between the barriers and rank them accordingly. A total of 13 barriers have been identified through extensive literature review and discussion with experts. Findings An integrated LGAMS has been presented that balances the lean, green and agile paradigms and can help supply chains become more efficient, streamlined and sustainable. Barriers are identified while referring to all three strategies to showcase the clear relevance. TISM models the barriers in different levels showcasing direct and important transitive relations. Further, MICMAC analysis distributes the barriers in four clusters in accordance with their driving and dependence power. Research limitations/implications The inferences have been drawn from a model developed on the basis of inputs from a small fraction of the industry and academia and may show variations when considering the whole industry. Practical implications The outcome of this research can contribute to bringing the change to the manufacturing systems used in most developing nations. Also, top managers considering adoption of LGAMS can be cautious of the most influential barriers. Originality/value A TISM-based model of the barriers to an integrated LGAMS has been proposed with evaluation of the influence of the barriers.

Agile methodologies has given a break from traditional software development models and has proved to be powerful in accommodating requirement changes and induce degree of flexibility in the software development life cycle. These characteristics have made agile an obvious choice among all software development models. One of the main objectives of any model is to cater to risk, identify, analyze, assess and plan. On the contrary agile does not clearly states anything in regard to risk management. This paper targets in analyzing agile methodologies and risk management model, amount of risk handling capabilities in agile and requirement of merging risk management in agile.

“…In addition to their increasing popularity agile methods provide a range of benefits. Agile methods enable ongoing day-to-day project tracking and monitoring, real-time updates, rapid delivery of products, greater interactions and collaborations between stakeholders, improved communications, knowledge sharing and quick feedback [14] [15] [16]. Agile processes can provide a competitive advantage for small companies since their small releases provide focus and faster delivery.…”

Agile methods have the potential for cost effective and efficient software development thereby facilitating economic sustainability. A well-defined process is associated with a better quality software product and a sustainable production flow. However, agile processes have their shortcomings such as inadequately detailed user stories and lack of overall (architectural) design. Such shortcomings can affect the effectiveness of the agile process. Using principles of process tailoring, three agile processes are tailored by adding steps that address their weaknesses. The tailored processes once derived were implemented and tested. The results of the controlled case study show that the altered extreme programming resulted in better cost effectiveness and may be a useful angle for enhancing economic sustainability.
