Abstract

In the context of severe competition, the manufacturing organisations are looking for an appropriate system to achieve sustainable development, which has prompted to develop a suitable integrated system. The authors have developed an integrated model namely Integrated Manufacturing Business Excellence System (IMBES). This model which is a comprehensive one blended with the global manufacturing management concepts namely ISO 9000:2008 QMS, ISO 14001:2000 EMS, OHSMS 18001:2007, knowledge management, total quality management, total productivity management, Six-Sigma, lean manufacturing, agile manufacturing and sustainable manufacturing by drawing ten critical factors from the above concepts. The main objective of this paper is to study the relationship between the critical factors of IMBES and the manufacturing performance through managers' perspective. The result of the empirical study revealed that the ten successful critical factors have significant positive relationship with IMBES implementation to achieve manufacturing performance excellence if practiced in a full-fledged manner.
