摘要

目的本研究旨在探讨孟加拉国劳动密集型成衣业如何通过生产灵活性来应对不断变化和不可预测的商业环境带来的挑战,该行业位于发展中国家,服务不足。分析利用了 320 份调查问卷,这些问卷来自代表 95 家组织的潜在 RMG 专家。研究结果本研究建立了一个在孟加拉国 RMG 行业实施生产灵活性的决策模型,模型拟合标准可以接受。研究指出,在应对成衣行业供需不确定性的过程中,劳动力柔性在不同类型的制造业中发挥着最大的中介作用。研究局限/启示该研究为孟加拉国成衣行业和其他发展中经济体中服务不足的劳动密集型行业的制造业柔性方面的理论和实践知识做出了宝贵贡献。研究建议,管理者应从防御性和高风险的商业战略转变为更加积极和主动的方法,通过适应性地利用劳动力灵活性资源来提高制造能力,并与动态的市场需求保持一致。此外,本研究还为今后的研究提出了建议,以便在其研究成果的基础上更进一步。 本研究的方法非常独特,因为它提出了一个在发展中经济体的劳动密集型行业(特别是孟加拉国的成衣行业)实施生产灵活性的决策模型,而以往的研究主要集中在发达经济体的高科技行业。

Unleashing the power of manufacturing flexibility: enhancing performance in Bangladesh's ready-made garment industry

Purpose

This research aims to investigate how manufacturing flexibility can address the challenges of an ever-changing and unpredictable business environment in Bangladesh’s labor-intensive ready-made garment (RMG) industry, which is underserved and situated in a developing country.

Design/methodology/approach

Using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling, this study empirically evaluated the relationships between manufacturing flexibility, environmental uncertainty and firm performance. The analysis utilized 320 survey responses from potential RMG experts, representing 95 organizations.

Findings

The study achieved a decision-making model for implementing manufacturing flexibility in the RMG industry of Bangladesh with acceptable model fit criterion. The research pinpointed that workforce flexibility plays the maximum mediating among different types of manufacturing in coping with demand and supply uncertainty in the RMG sector.

Research limitations/implications

The study made valuable contributions to theoretical and practical knowledge in the context of manufacturing flexibility in Bangladesh’s RMG and other underserved labor-intensive sectors in developing economies. It suggests that managers should shift from defensive and risky business strategies to more aggressive and proactive approaches by utilizing workforce flexibility resources adaptively to enhance manufacturing capabilities and align with dynamic market demand. Additionally, the study offers recommendations for future research to build upon its findings.

Originality/value

This study is unique in its approach because it presents a decision model for implementing manufacturing flexibility in a labor-intensive industry in a developing economy, specifically the RMG industry in Bangladesh, whereas previous research has primarily focused on high-tech industries in developed economies.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management (JMTM) aspires to be the premier destination for impactful manufacturing-related research. JMTM provides comprehensive international coverage of topics pertaining to the management of manufacturing technology, focusing on bridging theoretical advancements with practical applications to enhance manufacturing practices. JMTM seeks articles grounded in empirical evidence, such as surveys, case studies, and action research, to ensure relevance and applicability. All submissions should include a thorough literature review to contextualize the study within the field and clearly demonstrate how the research contributes significantly and originally by comparing and contrasting its findings with existing knowledge. Articles should directly address management of manufacturing technology and offer insights with broad applicability.
