Abstract

The study examined how agile production correlates with capacity effectiveness of agro firms I the Rivers state. The aim and objective of the study was to empirically determine how variables of the study relate with each other and to determine cause and effect relation considering the outcome of each variable studied. The study was necessitated as a result of the apparent suboptimal ineffectiveness in their operation capacity given the high demand for their product in the state. The study adopted a correlation research design with the use of primary data. Spearman statistical tool was used to analyze responses elicited from respondents in the structured questionnaires administered, and regression analyses was further used to identify the cause and effect relationship between variables studied. Finding revealed a positive significant correlation, and isolating variables that are of high tendency to maximize capacity optimality among studied firms. Conclusions and recommendations were drawn amongst was, agile production is a flexible customers driven strategy that enables firms optimize their productive activity in sync with limited resources available.
