Agile manufacturing is a
term applied to an
organization that has created
the processes, tools, and
training to enable it to respond
quickly to customer needs and
market changes while still
controlling costs and quality.
It is a general proposition of
manufacturing that the cost of
correcting quality issues
increases as the problem
moves downstream, so that it
is cheaper to correct quality
problems at the earliest
possible point in the process.
