Fleksibilitas Manufaktur dan Ketidakpastian Lingkungan Pada Perusahaan - Perusahaan Manufaktur Terklaster
Keywords:
manufacturing flexibility, environmental uncertainty, IKMAbstract
Manufacturing flexibility has been investigated extensively, yet, manufacturing
flexibility itself is still not clearly understood, both in theory and practice. This
might be caused by the lack of general agreement in defining manufacturing
flexibility concept. This study aims to provide a better understanding regarding
manufacturing flexibility practices, especially in the context of small and medium
induatri (SMEs). This study sought to describe the pattern of SMEs in selecting and
implementing manufacturing flexibility. The study was conducted using a
questionnaire. It looking for information regarding changes in the environment, the
way the company to response it, the importance and effectiveness of each response
based on manufacturing flexibility dimensions, and classify SMEs based on their
patterns in implementing manufacturing flexibility. The results indicate that SMEs
have seek to apply manufacturing flexibility to deal with the environment changes.
The roots of manufacturing flexibility on SMEs performance is based on the
capacity of SMEs in response to the environmental changes. The findings could be
used to develop strategies and policies in encouraging SMEs.
