Developing agile manufacturing in Australia

Abstract

Traces the development of agile manufacturing in Australia from the early 1980s to the present day. Looks at relevant projects and studies in the field such as the JITVIC program which focused on just‐in‐time manufacturing during 1985 and major studies carried out by the Australian Manufacturing Council in the early 1990s. Notes that a foundation for the development of agile manufacturing has been laid in Australia and that progress has been made by large companies. Points out, however, that smaller companies still require an initial push.
