Modeling the Interrelationship of Critical Success Factors Adoption of Sustainable Lean Manufacturing Using DEMATEL Approach

  • Conference paper

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

Abstract

The aim of the study was to modeling the interrelation of critical success factors (CSFs) for sustainable lean manufacturing in Indian small and medium-scale enterprises. In the competitive era, small and medium-scale industries have partial resources and façade huge competition. Based on literature review, 10 critical success factors were extracted which suggested by experts. Same was followed by interviewing the ground leaders, and key managers have expertise in sustainable lean manufacturing. The decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method was used to analyze the interrelationship of critical success factors for sustainable lean manufacturing adoption in Indian industries. CSFs’ interrelationship has been identified and expended in industries through experts. This study proposes the key interrelationship of critical success factors to challenge obstacles in sustainable lean implementation in Indian industries. For sustainable lean manufacturing implementation, effectiveness, innovative technology usage, management review, agile manufacturing processes, teamwork, govt. regulations and follow-ups considered as critical success factors. Innovations are considered as input for sustainability and performance measured in economic, operational, environmental and CSR activities. Researcher focused on goal setting through bench marking in identical clusters. The findings may be helpful for industries’ consultants and manager facing difficulties in implementing sustainable lean manufacturing in Indian industries. The study also suggests qualitative approach for improvement action to develop loss-making small and medium-scale enterprises in a reputed industry. This may help managers to prioritize resources allocation toward sustainability in process and organization’s systems. The importance of presenting interrelationship of CSFs might helpful for new business practitioner to survive in competitive scenario.
