Abstract
The purpose of this research is to determine barriers to the implementation of lean-agile manufacturing systems in the context of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Through literature review and expert opinions, 12 critical barriers were identified. Then, a decision-making tool, namely “Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM),” was used for modeling barriers and identifying the critical barriers through their driving power. Further, the “Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL)” was applied to explore the cause-effect relationship between the barriers. Two barriers, namely “Ineffective organizational management” and “Lack of experience with technology adoption,” were identified as having significant, influential power. Organizations should focus on these barriers and need to develop strategies to overcome them for the successful implementation of lean-agile manufacturing systems.
