A questionnaire was used as the primary instrument for data collection, and the data were analyzed using advanced statistical techniques through SPSS and AMOS software. The theoretical framework focused on strategic engineering and sustainable lean manufacturing, while the empirical framework tested the correlation and causal relationships between the study variables. The findings indicate that the company demonstrates a strong orientation toward adopting strategic engineering practices, which significantly enhance sustainable manufacturing agility. Moreover, the results highlight the importance of achieving high levels of manufacturing flexibility while integrating environmental considerations, thereby improving the company’s ability to meet customer requirements, ensure production continuity, and effectively respond to future environmental and market changes
