Abstract: Most manufacturing companies are mainly interested in strengthening competiveness by concentrating on competitive priorities. The majority of companies have started implementing lean, green and agile paradigms in order to become more efficient and highly productive. To achieve those objectives, researchers around the world have been increasingly interested in developing tools to control the process of implementing these three paradigms in organisations. In this context, various approaches have previously been proposed in the literature. Consequently, a systematic review of measurement methods, such as leanness, greenness and agility, in manufacturing organisations was performed for the purpose of defining some guidance for managers and practitioners who are interested in measuring these three concepts. Therefore, 121 methods have been selected and analysed based on a set of comparative dimensions. The main strengths and weaknesses of the selected approaches are mentioned. Some literature gaps are highlighted, and a number of directions are provided for future research.
