About

Naveen Virmani is a researcher focused on advancing manufacturing systems through the integration of lean and agile principles—known as leagile manufacturing—and the application of decision-making frameworks for emerging technologies. His major contributions include developing a structured prioritisation and assessment model for leagile manufacturing enablers using Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM), which helps industries identify and rank key factors needed to respond quickly to fluctuating customer demands while maintaining quality and cost efficiency. This work, published in 2019, has garnered over 15 citations, reflecting its relevance in competitive production environments. Virmani has also extended his expertise to cutting-edge fields, such as selecting suitable additive manufacturing processes for soft robotics applications, employing three-way decision-making to navigate complex trade-offs. His research on quantifying critical factors affecting leagile systems further underscores his systematic approach to improving industrial responsiveness. With a growing citation record and a focus on both traditional manufacturing challenges and novel technologies like 3D printing, Virmani’s work offers valuable insights for students and practitioners seeking to enhance production system adaptability and decision-making in an increasingly dynamic market.
