Sustainable Manufacturing Decision Making

Sustainable manufacturing aims to manage the operations in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. Several organizations have already incorporated the concept of sustainable manufacturing. However many Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that account for approximately 90% of all enterprises are not yet embraced this opportunity. Therefore it is important to develop the sustainable manufacturing decision making models that suited to the characteristics of manufacturing SMEs. In order to achieve that this study aims to identify key sustainable manufacturing performance measures & metrics and develop the sustainability evaluation and strategy selection models.
