Abstract
To achieve a competitive edge in the rapidly changing business environment,
companies must align with suppliers and customers to streamline
operations, as well as working together to achieve a level of agility beyond
individual companies. Consequently, agile supply chains are the dominant
competitive vehicles. Due to the ambiguity of agility assessment, most
measures are described subjectively using linguistic terms. In this research,
it is identified different dimensions of the agility. It is studied how
the PISHRANEH Company accesses the agility in its supply chain as a
case study. The innovation of this paper is the simultaneous use of Fuzzy
rule-based and the Fuzzy agility index approaches which it is applied for
the first time in such articles. Finally, it is represented some suggestions for
the progress of agility level of the supply chain of the company and some
for the future.
