Abstract
An agile enterprise is an enterprise whose processes are designed specifically to respond effectively to unanticipated change. This paper discusses viewing the enterprise as a system of business processes, agility theory and the analytic network process (ANP) methodology. The ANP methodology is described utilizing an actual case study which was analyzed on the “conduct manufacturing operations” business process
