Abstract

Because of increased global competition, rapid technology development, and shorten product life cycle, manufacturing firms needed to quickly adapt to the changes of customer and competitive environment. During last 20 years, lean production and agile manufacturing have been used to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of manufacturing firms. This study is purposed to examine the antecedents of agility and to statistically analyze not only the effect of antecedents on agility but also the effect of agility on business performance. This study used the structural equation model and found that intra-organizational cooperation, inter-organizational cooperation, and mutual trust had the significant effects on agility. And it was found that agility had a significant effect on operation performance and strategic performance. Agility has been one of important competitive advantages enhancing the supply chain process and firm's competitiveness. This study contributes to widen the practices of agility capability.

글로벌 경쟁의 심화, 빠른 기술의 발달, 그리고 짧아진 제품 수명주기는 제조기업들이 고객과 경쟁환경의 변화에 빠르게 적응하는 것을 요구하고 있다. 린생산과 민첩 생산이 지난 20년간 제조 기업의 효율성과 효과성을 높이는데 중요한 전략으로 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 민첩성의 선행요인이 무엇인지를 선행연구를 통해서 살펴보고 이들 요인들이 민첩성에 미치는 영향과 민첩성이 경영성과에 미치는 영향을 구조방정식 모형을 통해 실증 분석하였다. 실증분석의 결과 조직내 협력, 조직간 협력, 상호간 신뢰는 민첩성에 유의한 영향을 미치지만 정보 공유는 유의성이 없는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 민첩성은 운영성과와 전략적 성과에 유의한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 공급사슬 프로세스의 성과와 경쟁력 향상을 위해서는 민첩성이 무엇보다 중요하다는 사실을 확인하였다는 점에 본 연구가 공헌한 바가 있다.
