“…The development of environmentally friendly practices and the removal of adverse techniques is the goal of intelligent systems and process improvement for sustainable manufacturing. However, "environmental performance is challenging from the decision-making perspective because of difficulty determining and prioritizing the proper factors that have a significant effect on a firm's environmental performance" [82]. According to Rezai et al [83], awareness about environmentally friendly products has drastically increased, and consumers are increasingly demanding products that are not only environmentally friendly but also have a circular life cycle.…”

This paper aimed to map the existing sustainable manufacturing literature to explore and classify existing practices to highlight the potential prospect of and obstacles to achieving manufacturing sustainability in countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). This paper systematically reviews the research on sustainable manufacturing in the ASEAN region from 2011 to 2020. We used the PRISMA framework for systematic literature, and 118 research articles specific to the ASEAN region were identified through a structured keyword search in Web of Science, SCOPUS, ProQuest, and other databases. After a careful screening process, only 115 records were found appropriate to be included for review in the current study. The results revealed three significant sets of manufacturing practices that are widely used for sustainable manufacturing. These are sustainable product development, sustainable manufacturing performance, and environmental assessment and monitoring. Furthermore, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of the literature to highlight ASEAN countries’ collaborative efforts to achieve sustainability in manufacturing. The findings indicate that most of the earlier work on sustainable manufacturing focused on environmental assessment practices rather than providing holistic industrial engineering solutions. We recommend that the efforts focus on hybrid processes to establish sustainable manufacturing procedures in ASEAN member countries. Holistic solutions through industrial processing integration need to be developed to provide broader industrial solutions to protect the environment and society from the adverse effects of the manufacturing process with economic efficiency.

“…The multi-criteria attribute (MCAM) and multi-criteria objective (MCOM) methods have also been known for an extensive usage in the assessment of the environmental performance, which is mainly driven by their practical feasibility that has been proven useful in decreasing the risk of losing relevant information (Chowdhury and Paul, 2020). For instance, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method (Ak and Braida, 2015; Pipatprapa et al , 2018; Haddach and Benfssahi, 2019), Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method (Ostad-Ahmad-Ghorabi et al , 2013; Bilbao-Terol et al , 2014; Jayasooriya et al , 2018) and analytic network process (ANP) method (Farias et al , 2019). Some authors have applied either hybrid methods combining two or more methods to address the limitations coming with these methods to reach the final decision, for instance, the AHP-TOPSIS method (Azimifard et al , 2018), LCA-TOPSIS (Vidal and Sánchez-Pantoja, 2019), TOPSIS-VIKOR named TOPKOR (Aghajani Mir et al , 2016 ; Sedady and Beheshtinia, 2019), or introduced the fuzzy concept to deal with uncertainty problem in the decision-making process, for instance, fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS (Anand and Vinodh, 2018) and fuzzy ANP (Chan and Wang, 2013).…”

PurposeDecoupling of pressures ranging from regulatory compliance and stakeholders expectations to business competitiveness and sustainability, companies need to align their environmental strategies with a broader consideration of these influences. This paper aims at developing a dynamic alignment model to enhance the environmental performance that considers the influential pressures based on a multi-criteria decision-making process.Design/methodology/approachAuthors have proposed a dynamic model for the alignment of the environmental performance based on a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making approach combining the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). This model considers contemporary strategic dynamism of the environmental performance and provides a methodology to assist companies prioritizing the environmental aspects based on the influential pressures and deciding on the enhancement pathways.FindingsThe proposed model based on a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making process allows prioritizing the environmental aspects considering the allocated weights to the alignment-triggered pressures and draw the way to develop different pathways to improve the alignment.Practical implicationsThe proposed dynamic alignment model presents an instrument for the continuous alignment of the environmental performance and an effective management of changes and contributes to minimize gaps and divergences.Originality/valueIn this paper, the environmental performance has been approached through the contemporary strategic dynamism with the deployment of the multi-criteria decision-making techniques to yield an alignment framework for the environmental decision that combines the internal and external approaches for an effective and sustainable improvement of the environmental performance.

“…AHP was used because it can designate unquantifiable targets, and it is easier for users to develop decision support systems on it. AHP is a widely used analytical tool for solving multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems [28]. It eliminates bias in decision-making by converting MCDM problems and subjective evaluation into a multilevel hierarchical framework [29].…”

Sustainable Development of Food Processing Enterprises in China

et al. 2019

Sustainable development is an eternal topic in the development of human society. The paper seeks to contribute to the adoption of sustainable development practices in the food processing enterprises of China by fostering the capacities of the enterprises. Moreover, the paper aims to contribute to the promotion of sustainable consumption by helping and encouraging consumers in making informed choices of sustainable and eco-efficient produced foodstuffs. We combined with 1015 survey data in 28 areas of China by using AHP model analysis of the sustainable development of food processing enterprises. The results show that, the overall level of sustainable development ability of food processing enterprises in China is not high; paying attention to economic is significantly more important than paying attention to social and environmental aspects. Chinese food processing entities have an acceptable basis for the implementation of sustainable development. But there are still some problems. Finally, some suggestions are put forward to promote the sustainable development of Chinese food processing enterprises.
