Toward a taxonomy of manufacturing flexibility dimensions
针对制造柔性维度划分的分歧,本文基于文献提出理论驱动的操作化方案,并在240家制造企业样本中验证了分类体系的合理性。
Abstract Researchers agree on the importance of manufacturing flexibility but are somewhat divided on the dimensions of this important construct. This paper seeks to find a middle‐ground by working toward a generally acceptable taxonomy of manufacturing flexibility dimensions. The authors build on extant literature and propose a theoretically grounded operationalization of the manufacturing flexibility construct. Operational measures of manufacturing flexibility dimensions are identified and tested on a sample of 240 manufacturing firms. Results indicate good support for the theorized taxonomy.
