Book cover Advances in Intelligent Manufacturing

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering ((LNME))

Abstract

In order to reap the benefits of both lean and green would lead to a new system named Lean–Green Manufacturing System (LGMS). The adoption of LGMS in manufacturing industry can really yield advantages in terms of economic and environmental performance primarily and social performance too. The emerging economies like BRICS nations are boosting their manufacturing sector and generating an unsustainable situation. The adoption of LGMS can check the situation without any impact on the manufacturing sector growth. However, this change in manufacturing system is hindered by many issues without which the implementation of LGMS is not possible. This paper identifies 7 barriers to LGMS through the review of literature and consultation with experts. An application of VIKOR method would lead to the identification of the few most important barriers which should be taken first to address the issue faster.
