Abstract

Through a case study, a method is introduced to evaluate leanness and agility and derive a leagile decoupling ratio which enhances the industrial key performance indicators. A framework is presented which describe the inter-relationship of leagility with the key performance indicators. Scores are given to lean and agile characteristics of the industry and a simplified bat algorithm is used to derive an optimal leagile decoupling ratio. Implementation of the derived leagile decoupling ratio significantly enhances the industrial key performance indicators. The conceptual methodology is validated and accepted by peer companies that share. However, the method can be generalised and extended for wider acceptance. The presented leagile decoupling method can be used as a generalised tool to optimally prioritise leanness and agility, which enhance the effectiveness of the company both functionally and financially. The novelty of the work lies in the simplicity and robustness of the presented leagile decoupling approach.
