“…Govindan et al (2014) also used more than one MCDM techniques for evaluation of green manufacturing practices. SWOT analysis (strength, weakness, opportunities and threat) for GM strategy was constructed by using AHP approach in detail (Li et al, 2010). Wang et al (2012) in his paper used fuzzy logic, which is a popular method of incorporating uncertain parameters into the decision-making process, with analytic hierarchy process to form a decision-making model for different green initiatives in the fashion industry.…”

Purpose Competition and globalization in the today’s scenario have posed many pressures on all manufacturing enterprises either it be small or medium scale organizations but at different levels. The purpose of this paper is to comprehend the usage of comparison for rankings between analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach and find out best parameters, which is a multi-decision-making method for quantifying the implementation of green manufacturing. Design/methodology/approach In this investigation, eight aspects, for instance, top management commitment and support, organizational practices, peer government pressure, peer social pressure, customer’s attributes, green supply chain management, government support and adoption of new/ supportive technologies have been identified to examine priority weights by the use of AHP. A comparative methodology is used between AHP and TOPSIS rankings and further identifying the success possibility of green manufacturing using AHP technique. Findings Green supply chain management, customer’s attributes and organizational practices have been ranked at first three places, respectively, while adoption of new/ supportive technologies, top management commitment and support have been ranked fourth and fifth, respectively, according to AHP and TOPSIS techniques, which declares that results of the study are validated by two different techniques. The important factors discussed in this research can assist the different organizations to concentrate on imperative sections and assigning obligatory resources for assuring successful green manufacturing execution in various small- and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs). Originality/value The variables identified for the research are suitable to SMEs.

“…Designers wishing to promote sustainable manufacturing must weigh factors such as time, quality, resources, and costs along with environmental performance [73]. Conflicts between environmental, economic, and social (if able to be measured) factors are highly probably and require the application and development of Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) tools [74]. MCDM tools span a range of methods such as Gray Relational Analysis (GRA) and fuzzy logic, among others, and are often accompanied with a preference evaluation method such as Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) or Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to characterize the relative importance of assessment metrics [75,76].…”

Sustainable manufacturing has been defined by the U.S. Department of Commerce as the creation of manufactured products using processes that minimize negative environmental impacts, conserve energy and natural resources, are safe for employees, communities, and consumers, and are economically sound. Thus, it requires simultaneous consideration of economic, environmental, and social implications associated with production and delivery of goods. Research in sustainable manufacturing is an important activity that informs product development from a life cycle perspective. At the process level, sustainable manufacturing research addresses issues related to planning, analysis and improvement, and the development of processes. At a systems level, sustainable manufacturing research addresses challenges relating to supply chain design, facility design and operations, and production planning. Though economically vital, manufacturing processes and systems have retained the negative image of being inefficient, polluting, and dangerous. Through strategic activities focused on sustainable processes and systems, industrial and academic engineering researchers are re-imagining manufacturing as a source of innovation to meet society’s future needs. Recent research into concepts, methods, and tools for sustainable manufacturing are highlighted at the systems level, and explored more deeply as they relate to discrete manufacturing process development and analysis. Despite recent developments in decision making, and process- and systems-level research, many challenges and opportunities remain. Several of these in manufacturing research, development, implementation, and education are highlighted.

“…An appropriate GM strategy suitable for the enterprise's status and future can be established by analyzing internal and external environments of the enterprise. The internal and external environments include top managers' attitudes, the enterprise's organization structure, technologies, financial situations, culture, government laws, industry policies, green trade barriers, resource and environment stress, green product certifications, customer's green requirements, green product prices, and so on (Li et al, 2010c).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to explore the model for planning and implementing the green manufacturing (GM) strategy for Chinese enterprises under the background of "Energy Conservation and Pollution Emissions Reduction". Design/methodology/approach -Based on an in-depth case study of a machine tool manufacturer in Chongqing, China, the paper tries to investigate the planning and implementing of a GM strategy from the perspective of the product life cycle. Findings -The GM strategy in large developing countries needs to be enacted for a long-term and with a continuous improvement paradigm. Planning and implementing the strategy requires an integrated model at the whole system level. A theoretical model of a five-layer structure for planning and implementing the GM strategy under the developing context is proposed.Research limitations/implications -The planning and implementing of the GM strategy may vary among different sectors, therefore more empirical research is needed to enhance the robustness of the findings. Practical implications -The paper is illustrative for planning and implementing a GM strategy which shows significant benefits associated with the implementation process. Originality/value -The paper proposes a model for planning and implementing a GM strategy under the developing context, which could provide an overview of the issues related to the GM strategy, and help enterprises maintain a balance between economic benefits and sustainable development benefits.
