Agile Manufacturing
Agility or Agile Manufacturing is a method of designing your process in such a ways so as to be able to respond to your customer needs for customised products faster and at a lower cost. Modern consumers want choice and service. What this means for manufacturers is more models, shorter life cycles, greater customisation, and prompt product engineering. The traditional mass production model where everyone drives a black model T Ford (or a Silver Toyota Camry) is disappearing. Most manufacturers in developed economies can not compete on cost for standardized mass produced products. The internet enables consumers to customise products on line to fit their personal needs.
TXM are experts at creating Agile Operations and Agile Supply Chains. Our customers now produce highly engineered customised products in a few days, when formally they took weeks. We have adapted the tools of Lean Enterprise to produce a sustainable competitive advantage for our customers and provide a platform for their growth.
