Abstract

Sustainable manufacturing had gained prominent importance in modern time all over the globe. Modern manufacturing is shifting from use of tradition practices and natural resources to sustainable practices and alternate green energy sources. Use of traditional practices and natural resources generate lot of wastes and pollution in environment. However, the implementation and adaption of sustainable manufacturing practices is a challenging task for Indian organizations. Most of Indian manufacturing organizations are not able to overcome challenges of sustainable manufacturing and adopt its practices. In this paper, authors have reviewed different research papers and identified challenges of sustainable manufacturing. By strategic planning, challenges can be overcome and implementation of sustainable manufacturing in Indian manufacturing organizations can be feasible. To analyses the practical challenges and feasibility of sustainable manufacturing adoption at ground level authors have done a case study in Indian organization manufacturing electric goods.
