RESEARCH WORKS

A Combined AHP and ISM Based Model to Assess the Agility of Supply Chain -A Case

Study which is published in the International Journal of Integrated Supply

Management(Inderscience Publishers) 2012 Vol.7, No.1/2/3, pp.167 -191.

Abstract:

An agile supply chain corresponds to the quick responsiveness of an organization to

ever changing market demands without compromising on cost and quality of the

product. The textile industry is one such industry having a volatile market demand. This

paper is an outcome of a case study conducted in a leading spinning industry in South

India. Various enablers and determinants of agility were identified through literature

review, field study and industry study. Based on the findings of these studies a multi -

level model was developed and the suitability of this model to improve the agility of

supply chain was tested. For this, two methodologies - analytical hierarchy process

(AHP) and interpretive structural modeling (ISM) were identified as suitable tools. The

analysis of the results of AHP and ISM methodologies provide the industry an insight on

how the supply chain can be made more agile. Further, the model provides the top

management a clear vision of the practices to be implemented and the improvement

methods to be adopted by the company for an effective management of supply chains

in spinning industries.
