Resumen

This research paper analyses agile manufacturing in Spain and studies whether it is a critical factor for success in different industries. A conceptual model is drawn up, based on the literature and a previous case study, to relate turbulence in the environment with agile manufacturing practices and business performance. The model is tested on a large sample of Spanish manufacturers using survey methodology to obtain information and a structural equation model to analyse the data. The results obtained show that, in turbulent environments, the integrated use of agile manufacturing practices promotes manufacturing competitive strength, leading to better operational, market and financial performance.
