This paper highlighted on manufacturing culture in micro and small scale industries. To know the manufacturing culture responses collected from 20 manufacturing industries with 87 questionnaires through survey. All the questionnaires prepared with help of Agile manufacturing enablers. The sample industries are manufacturer of identical products with different shapes and size based on the customer requirement. From the survey it has noted that micro and small scale industries are not working with one single manufacturing methodology and no strategic process was adopted. Most of industries are facing problem of shortage of skilled labor and change of market requirement. The major reason for this problem is poor storage and reuse of the data and poor adoption/non adoption of knowledge management technique in micro and small scale industries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
