Compressing the time from idea to market has become a focal competitive priority of global manufacturing companies. Develops a framework that assesses the strategic value of a company in terms of its “time” performance. The primary tool employed to accomplish this is an agility matrix whose cells represent intersection of agility‐determinants and segments of time‐to‐market. After grading a company on each cell, a weighted sum, called the “agility index” is computed, which is an indicator of the firm′s capability to compete on time.
