Abstract: In manufacturing sector, the medium scale industries play an important role for the Indian economy. There is a drastic change in customer demands posing a major challenge before the manufacturing industries. Agile manufacturing (AM) is a concept which incorporates customer issues in the traditional manufacturing process, lack of awareness about the use of AM needs the proper identification of enablers considering Indian scenario. Agility is the amalgamation of technology and management which is useful in the manufacturing sector, thus the use of scalable framework and integrated computer manufacturing is the need of an hour. Medium scale industries are not aware about AM; however, it will be appropriate if the Indian manufacturing industry also makes use of AM. For the implementation of AM in the Indian manufacturing industry, the most essential enablers are identified in this paper. A phase wise literature survey spanning from year 1995 to 2020; divided in three phases of seven, seven and nine year respectively, provided the focus on the enablers. From the in-depth literature review of 167 papers and discussion with experts, we have 85 sub-criteria with 12 categories of enablers.
