Prioritizing the barriers of green smart manufacturing using AHP in implementing Industry 4.0: a case from Indian automotive industry

Abstract

PurposeManufacturing companies are increasingly using green smart production (GSM) as a tactic to boost productivity since it has a number of advantages over conventional manufacturing methods. It costs a lot of money and takes a lot of work to create an SMS since it combines a lot of different technologies, including automation, data exchanges, cyber-physical systems (CPS), artificial intelligence, the Internet of things (IoT) and semi-autonomous industrial systems. Green smart manufacturing (GSM) activities provide the foundation for creating ecologically friendly and green products. However, there are a number of other significant barriers obstacles to GSM deployment. As a result, removing this identification of these hurdles in a systematic manner should be a top focus of this study.Design/methodology/approach This article seeks to identify and prioritize the nine barriers based on research and expert viewpoints on GSM challenges. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is used to prioritize the barriers.FindingsThe result depicts that, financial constraints is the most important barrier that followed by scarcity of dedicated suppliers, concern to data security lack of understanding of the surroundings, inadequate top management commitment, proper handling of data interfaces lack of support by government, employees' lack of training, concern to data security lack of environment knowledge, fear of change/resistance and constraints of technology.Research limitations/implications The current research will help the manufacturing industry in Industry 4.0 to identify potential barriers to GSM implementation.Originality/value Green manufacturing (GM) entails the implementation of renewable production methods and eco-friendly procedures in manufacturing businesses. This study helps manufacturers come up with recycling and creative products, and manufacturers can give back to the environment by protecting natural areas by getting rid of the obstacles that get in the way.

Vendor Partnerships in Sustainable Supply Chain in Indian Electric Two-Wheeler Industry – A Systematic Review of Literature

“…Fauzdar et al (2022) carry out a MICMAC analysis of Industry 4.0 in the Indian automotive industry. The process of correlating the techniques of green smart manufacturing in the Indian automotive industry, analysing and prioritizing the barriers to the same; and examining how it can be used to implement Industry 4.0 using the AHP technique, has been done in the study by Agarwal et al (2022).…”

Risk assessment model for halal supply chain using an integrated approach of IFN and D number

“…In the supply chain environment, risks are qualitative and can be analysed using expert input. These experts' input is subjective and many times imprecise in nature which lowers the accuracy of the assessment (Shankar, Choudhary, & Jharkharia, 2018;Li & Yazdi, 2022a, b;Agarwal et al, 2022). The three major complications involved with the expert's input as the vagueness of the linguistic scale (Yazdi, 2022), inconsistent information (Gholamizadeh, Zarei, Omidvar & Yazdi, 2022) and uncertainty in the expert's opinion (Zhou, Shi, Deng, & Deng, 2017;Asim, Jalil, Javaid, & Muneeb, 2021;Hashmi, AqibJalil, & Javaid, 2022).…”

Advances in Dental Materials: Bioactive Glass and Ceramic Composites: A Review

“…Various factors, such as the dimensions and category of the restoration, the configuration of the cavity, the location and state of the tooth within the oral cavity, and the proficiency of the dentist, among others, can impact the restoration process. This has been documented in literature [6]. Over the course of numerous years, a variety of dental restorative materials such as dental amalgam, glass ionomer concrete, compomers, porcelains, zinc oxide eugenics zinc chloride cement, and resin-based mixture have been utilised [7].…”
