摘要
Global competition has ensured the need for organisations to become more responsive and more efficient which drives interest in the concept of supply chain agility. Agile supply chain strategies focus on responding quickly to market needs and changing market demands. Agile enablers are enabling technologies and methodologies which are significant to achieve agility. Despite the food sector's importance, food industry has received limited attention in literature in the context of agile strategies. This work proposes an analytical hierarchy process (AHP)-based framework to improve agility of food processing industries. Identification of agile enablers is based on the literature review and experts' opinion. The objective of this paper is to prioritise enablers for agile supply chain using AHP, in the context of Indian food processing industries. Understanding these priorities helps food processing industries develop strategies to improve supply chain agility. Copyright © 2015 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
