Abstract

To be flexible means to have the ability to vary as you like, according to the needs. Flexibility is the ability to adapt, in a reversible manner, to an existing situation, as opposed to evolution, which is irreversible. Companies must realize the real competition is not firm-to-firm, but supply chain-to-supply chain.
