Agility: the key to adapting quickly

The ability of a business to quickly adapt to changes in the market or customer demand while maintaining cost effectiveness and profitability and avoiding significant impact on quality or dependability is referred to as agility. Agility becomes more important as supply chains become more complex, as it is critical in dealing with short lead times and varying volumes. Visibility is a critical component of remaining agile, and with greater visibility comes the ability to remain more flexible.
