The role of organizational agility in promoting sustainable manufacturing: Analytical study in Kirkuk cement factory
Main Article Content
Abstract
The current study aims to explore the concept of organizational agility and the ability of organizations to adapt to changes in the market, especially since the environmental impacts, emissions, and sediments that have affected the environment, especially since the environment has become among the axes of competition around which the work of organizations that seek to create an environmentally sustainable society revolves around It promotes sustainable manufacturing in a stable environment. The problem of the study stemmed from the challenges faced by industrial organizations, such as depletion of resources and limiting their use Excessive energy consumption, increasing emissions, dust, deposits, waste, strict environmental regulations, and the human quest to achieve a better quality of life, have therefore become necessary to search for manufacturing systems that effectively meet sustainability requirements and contribute to the application of sustainable manufacturing. The study aimed to demonstrate the role of organizational agility in promoting sustainable manufacturing. This was done by surveying the opinions of a sample of individuals working in the Kirkuk Cement Factory. The questionnaire was adopted as a main tool for collecting data, and the study population was represented (a cement factory) in (Kirkuk Governorate) if the number of questionnaires distributed reached 140) questionnaires After sorting and verifying the data, the number of questionnaires suitable for analysis reached (125) questionnaires, and (129) questionnaires were retrieved, including (11) unretrieved questionnaires. The number of questionnaires that were not suitable for analysis was (4), and thus the number of questionnaires suitable for statistical analysis became (125) questionnaires. The current study reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which is that organizational agility is the ability to adapt quickly and effectively to changes in the environment in a way that achieves effectiveness and contributes to achieving sustainable manufacturing that reduces environmental impact. While the study reached a set of proposals, the most important of which was that each of the organizational agility variables affects... With the variable of sustainable manufacturing.
