“…In addition, the literature features many proposed methods of measuring and evaluating flexibility in manufacturing (see, e.g., Seebacher & Winkler, 2014;Winkler & Seebacher, 2012a;Baykasoglu, 2009;Shuiabi et al, 2005;Wahab, 2005;Parker & Wirth, 1999;Benjaafar & Ramakrishnan, 1996;Chryssolouris, 1996;Chryssolouris & Lee, 1992;Kumar, 1987). In the early 2000s, scientific research increasingly focused on improving the entire value chain, and the issue of supply chain flexibility appeared as significant (Seebacher & Winkler, 2013a).…”

“…Fundamental analysis of the importance of flexibility for up-to-date manufacturing engineering is represented in previous research. Specifically, the economic, organizational and manufacturing aspects including the information for variety of definitions of term "flexibility" were shown in the works [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Principally, several types of flexibility were identified, and the relationship between them was graphically represented in the work [13].…”

Flexible fixtures increasingly acquire an extension in up-to-date manufacturing engineering, albeit an attempt to determine the impact of the flexibility on the fixture accuracy parameters was not performed in previous research. The aim of this work is determination the opportunity to provide dimension accuracy for lever machining in the high-flexible fixture. Experimental values of displacements of the elements of the system "fixture-workpiece" for the different levels of fixture flexibility were obtained by means of finite elements analysis. On the example of levers machining it was stated that increasing the fixture flexibility allows receiving in a certain range the required dimension accuracy of the parts. Displacements were used for obtaining the mathematical model of the fixture accuracy depending on fixture flexibility. This model in case of levers machining describes by nonlinear function of evaluated flexibility indicators. The method of quasilinear evaluation of the parameters was used for identification the design flexibility by minimization of the total square deviation using the iteration procedure.

“…Recent economic growth shows that flexibility has played a significant role in manufacturing; therefore, many production systems consider flexibility as a main objective. Seebacher and Winkler (2014) developed a two-dimensional model for evaluation of manufacturing flexibility by analysing the performance of batch production systems. Narasimhan et al (2004) presented conceptual model for examining the role of flexibility through flexibility competence and execution competence and a multistage data envelopment analysis of empirical data.…”

Technological advancement in the manufacturing system in current scenario is inevitable due to today's customer-driven and volatile nature of the market. Implementation of agent technology in a manufacturing system increases flexibility which handles uncertainty generated due to advance technology. Therefore, in this paper, the critical drivers affecting implementation of agent technology are identified and the relationships among them are analysed for a case study of a manufacturing system in an Indian steering wheel manufacturing company. Interpretive structural modelling (ISM) is used to provide binary relationships among identified critical drivers (CDs), while MICMAC approach describes sensitive analysis of driving and dependence behaviour of CDs. The classification of the drivers affecting agent technology and their relationships according to ISM-MICMAC approach provides importance to this study. A structural model is developed for providing rank to the identified critical drivers, and driving-dependent power diagram is presented for analysing the behaviour of different critical drivers with respect to others. The identification of the most influential CDs that lead to increase the effect of other drivers is the major finding of this study. Finally, the implication of this research for the industries is also described.
