Abstract:
This study investigates the impact of Industry 5.0 practices on operational agility within the Indian manufacturing sector. Using data from 180 employees across various industries, the research examines how collaborative robotics, AI-driven prediction systems, and human– machine interaction contribute to flexibility, responsiveness, and adaptability. Descriptive and inferential analyses indicate a strong positive relationship between Industry 5.0 adoption and agility outcomes. Employees report improved disruption management, resource optimization, and operational responsiveness due to advanced technological integration. The findings highlight Industry 5.0 as a transformative enabler of operational excellence in Indian manufacturing, emphasizing the importance of human-centric automation for future competitiveness.
