Abstract

A combination of lean and agile concepts, leagility has gained ground in recent years. While it has found widespread applications in the domain of manufacturing, other domains such as procurement can also benefit from the principles of leagility. We study the application of concepts of leagility in PC manufacturing through the case of Dell and based on our experience with a worldwide retailer, we develop a conceptual framework in this paper which can be used as the basis for applying the principles of leagility in the domain of procurement. The framework would be of particular significance to academics as it extends the field of leagility to procurement. At the same time, manufacturing and retail firms can derive benefits by downsizing their inventory using the principles and conceptual framework discussed in this chapter.
