Abstract

All countries are taking action and making plans for sustainable manufacturing and procurement so that the coming generations could not blame them for exhausting all available resources. In this study, significant variables of sustainable manufacturing for Indian manufacturing industries have been identified. The result of present study revealed that agile manufacturing has the highest impact on sustainable manufacturing followed by lean manufacturing and sustainable procurement and other variables. The outcome of results suggests that the government should be strict towards the implementation of sustainability norms in manufacturing industries and financial assistance should be provided by the government for better implementation of sustainability. A research framework has been developed and a regression equation for sustainable manufacturing has been developed in present paper using a stepwise linear regression analysis. The present article also explores the suitability of artificial neural network in order to identify the importance of studied variables.
