Abstract: Agile manufacturing (AM) is a competitive manufacturing paradigm being adopted by modern organisations. Agility assessment is a vital task and the problem of prioritising agility gaps in the AM project involves several criteria and it is a typical multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. In order to provide effective solution, hybrid analytic network process (ANP)-technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) was applied. Based on the computations, agile criteria weights were determined and gaps were prioritised using fuzzy TOPSIS approach. The prioritised gaps were implemented in the case organisation.
