... were tested using structural equation modeling. Findings The results revealed that supplier involvement, internal integration, and modularization of products positively and significantly affect AM. Customer involvement and postponement were insignificantly related to AM. Further, the results...

... management (MF) ensures timely and economic completion of production activity in a SC. The major constructs are: efficient manufacturing system design (Noori and Georgescu, 2007), investment in technology (Mohanty and Deshmukh, 2000) that will enable manufacturing with optimum lead time, vertical integration...
