The competition is becoming truly global, with fragmented markets and customers expecting to get the best product at the best price with immediate availability. In this business environment we need to be agile to handle changes within the production system as well as changing the system to new circumstances. This paper is investigating the concept of agility and how it can be applied within industry. A proposal on how to make an "agility" analysis from a production system perspective is presented and a case study has been performed to test this analysis in practice.
