The Recognition of Workforce Agility Factors by Delphi Technique in Electronic Industries
Abstract
A new trend in science and technology, manufacturing and engineering industries on the basis of previous approaches has jeopardized. On the one hand knowledge in fields like electronics and information technology advances so quickly is a good opportunity to formulate strategies for the present leave, and the addition of further developments outside the organization is uncertain and unpredictable. As the organization approaches its flexibility in the choice of production was slightly overcome difficulties, but this approach cannot be held accountable. Agile way of thinking is an approach that can overcome environmental uncertainty, stability and flexibility is also. The most important part of the agile manufacturing, human resources which can be produced in tandem with changes in the technical merits of the product itself to be agile. In other words, the agile manufacturing capabilities to develop and nurture the human agility. But one of the most agile human resource needs, infrastructure and human resource capacities and backgrounds that are used to facilitate and encourage agility, and increase the agility.The enablers of the workforce agility this role playing. Even in the absence of some of the factors (enablers) that may be ineffective to the capabilities of the workforce agility. Therefore recognition of enablers' dimensions and indicators of workforce agility is very important. First, this study uses previous studies in this area would provide a framework, and then using the Delphi technique and judgmental sampling and chain experts, we tried to prepare the model is correct, according to experts. And finally approved by Panel of Experts model with five dimensions and various parameters related to workforce agility enablers was prepared. The dimensions are: Authority, organizational rules and procedures, coordination, structure, engineering jobs.
