To enhance the quality and efficiency of production the industry is trying to implement new and efficient techniques in its manufacturing operations. Cellular manufacturing is a solution to the batch manufacturing process; hence reducing the lead-time with higher machine utilization, improved product quality, and enhanced customer satisfaction. In this work an attempt has been made to study the current status, enablers, and barriers in the implementation of cellular manufacturing principles in the sports industry-specific to Meerut and nearby regions. An ISM based structural modeling and MICMAC analysis of implementation enablers, and barriers of cellular manufacturing practices in sports industry in Meerut are also presented. Management vision and Government support are the major driving enablers while 'Limited technological support, infrastructure and role model industry', and 'Lack of management support' are among the major barriers. The implementation barriers are also arranged into five categories based on the factors related to their removal. The practical implications and future scope of the study are also proposed. 收起
