Sažetak

The research reported in this paper was carried out to provide a model for facilitating leagile manufacturing in the production of air compressors. Leagile manufacturing incorporates lean and agile manufacturing elements. This research begins by reviewing the literature and observing the manufacturing of air compressors. Using this knowledge, a model called LEAGICOM (LEAGIle implementation in the COMpressor manufacturing industry) was designed. LEAGICOM involves plant layout, the development of a human resource system and the conducting of training and educational programmes for effectively implementing the leagile manufacturing paradigm. The practicality of implementing the LEAGICOM model was explored by conducting a case study in a medium-sized air compressor manufacturing company. The experiences of conducting this case study revealed that the LEAGICOM model has the potential to enable air compressor manufacturing companies to gain competitive strength.
