Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an instrument to measure supply chain agility. Design/methodology/approach – The development of this supply chain agility scale utilizes an examination of supply chain agility literature, experience surveys, and expert judges. The result is a 12-item instrument with six dimensions. Findings – The instrument has been rigorously tested and validated, which generates a high degree of confidence in the scale's validity and reliability. Originality/value – This paper fulfills an identified need for the development of an empirically validated instrument to measure supply chain agility. This reliable and validated instrument enables and facilitates future studies in the supply chain agility research stream.Keywords
