Abstract: Nowadays, market is very competitive. Industries are required to make changes in the production system quickly so as to meet the fluctuating needs of customers. Also, the components or product made should be of good quality at reasonable cost. To accomplish this task, industries are required to have state of art facilities like flexible manufacturing system (FMS), robotics, programmable logic controller (PLC), electric discharge machining (EDM), etc. In this paper, leagile system, i.e., combination of lean and agile system has been discussed. The concept of leagile manufacturing tries to reduce the cost of the product to minimum possible level and reduces the cycle time so that the finished products can be delivered to the customer as quickly as possible. In this paper, leagile enablers have been found out through literature review and in discussion with experts. Interpretive structural modelling technique (ISM) has been applied to find the relationship between these enablers and for constructing digraph. [Received: 28 March 2018; Accepted: 1 January 2019]
