Agile Manufacturing is a manufacturing philosophy that emphasizes flexibility, adaptability, and responsiveness in production processes. It is an approach that allows manufacturers to quickly respond to changing market demands and customer needs. The term Agile refers to a set of principles and practices aimed at delivering high-quality products that meet the needs of customers in a fast-changing environment. The term Agile Manufacturing was first coined in the early 1990s, during a time of increasing global competition and rapidly changing market conditions. As a result, manufacturers began to explore new ways to improve their competitiveness and responsiveness to changing customer needs, leading to the development of the Agile Manufacturing strategy. In January 1991, the term appeared in an important report entitled “21st Century Manufacturing Enterprise Strategy” by the Iacocca Institute at Lehigh University in the United States.

In today’s world, manufacturers still depend heavily on the working hands of people. The skills that are in demand are extremely repetitive and potentially dangerous. With the added effect of current labor struggles, keeping talent in this environment is difficult to maintain. According to The Workforce Institute at UKG, 4 in 5 U.S. manufacturers are having difficulty keeping up with demand due to staff shortages and supply constraints1 . In real time, if a skilled worker decides not to come to work, eight hours of production time is wasted. These losses can be catastrophic for small to mid-sized manufacturers trying to keep up with demand while also attempting to outcompete global competitors.

Digital transformation is driving the adoption of Industry 4.0 in manufacturing. Multiple technologies, such as internet of things (IoT) devices and artificial intelligence (AI), are changing manufacturing processes. For instance, more is being done with robotics, 3D printing, and industrial clouds. Employees need to digest all these innovations to enable new ways for them to do their jobs properly. Around the globe, industries have implemented work-from-home policies. In most manufacturing companies, there is a mixture of employees from the business office to the factory floor, and manufacturers can now instantly enable remote work for these employees.
