Abstract

In the present scenario, the success of an industry depends on its sustainable manufacturing performance where competitiveness is followed by superior performance. To remain competitive in the market, the manufacturing companies need to evaluate their performance through the manufacturing sustainability. This paper presents an AHP-based model for the enablers of sustainable manufacturing evaluation in Indian manufacturing companies. A hierarchy structure is established based on the proposed key enablers of sustainable. The company’s score is calculated to assess sustainability in manufacturing against the enablers and the companies rank is determined based on their scores.
