摘要：

Past research on manufacturing flexibility has emphasized technology and its contributions to flexibility. This study examines the role of sourcing practices in achieving manufacturing flexibilities. Manufacturing flexibility is conceptualized as a multi-dimensional construct and a taxonomy of existing research is developed. An exploratory empirical examination of the sourcing practices-flexibility linkage using canonical correlation and regression analysis suggests significant relationships between sourcing practice and manufacturing flexibilities. The results support the need for treating manufacturing flexibility as a multi-dimensional construct. The results also suggest that a firm could deploy specific sourcing practices to target specific manufacturing flexibilities in pursuit of agility-based competitive advantages.
