Abstract

The goal of this study was to identify the strategic needs of adhesive manufacturing sector of the chemical industry, in relation to agility principles, against an ideal agile manufacturer. In this regard, an agility audit packet was prepared and was distributed to selected personnel in three different adhesive manufacturing companies. The packet consisted of questions relating to each of the four dimensions of agility. These questions covered the widest, range of topics possible in order to fully benchmark the level of agility of each company against an ideal case. Three companies were studied and observations were made with respect to the answers that were provided during a series of interviews as well as an in-depth analysis of the survey results. Our analysis shows that all the three companies, more or less follow the same trend with respect to their operations. None of the three companies in this survey was operating near an ideal agile status. However, all three companies were aware of the principles that would lead them towards becoming agile. It was understood that it would not be possible to attain a totally ideal operation, however, a company could continuously strive to become more agile. To help these companies progress towards this goal, the results were analyzed and a series of recommendations were made. This paper summarizes some of our findings in that regard.
敏捷性原理在胶粘剂和密封剂制造行业应用的案例研究
本研究的目的是确定化学工业的胶粘剂制造部门的战略需求,与敏捷性原则有关,反对理想的敏捷制造商。在这方面,编写了敏捷性审计包,并将其分发给三家不同粘合剂制造公司的选定人员。这个包包含了与敏捷性的四个维度相关的问题。这些问题涵盖了尽可能广泛的主题,以便根据理想情况对每家公司的敏捷性水平进行全面基准测试。对三家公司进行了研究,并对在一系列访谈中提供的答案进行了观察,并对调查结果进行了深入分析。我们的分析表明,这三家公司在运营方面或多或少都遵循同样的趋势。在本次调查中,三家公司都没有达到理想的敏捷状态。然而,这三家公司都意识到将引导他们走向敏捷的原则。可以理解的是,实现完全理想的操作是不可能的,但是,公司可以不断努力变得更加灵活。为了帮助这些公司实现这一目标,对结果进行了分析,并提出了一系列建议。本文总结了我们在这方面的一些发现。
