Abstract: The goal of the present research is to investigate agility strategies in manufacturing companies using a hybrid model of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) based on an analytical network process (ANP) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). The statistical population of this study are experts of manufacturing firms located in Industrial Township. The questionnaires were used to indicate cross-relationships and ranking strategies. Ten experts were chosen to be studied. Regarding the findings using ANP, the scale of agility criteria related to the cooperation were chosen as the best criteria by experts of firms. Also, considering the viewpoints of experts, the sub-scale criteria of agility related to the knowledge of the individuals with the amount of 0.9994 obtained the first rank. Furthermore, the sub-criteria of agility related to the organisation with an amount of 0.4803, cooperation criteria amounting to 0.308, and product-relatedness criteria of agility with an amount of zero were ranked second, third, and fourth, respectively.
