An analysis of hurdles for ecofriendly lean production in Indian manufacturing industries using AHP–ELECTRE approach

The aim of current work is to analyze the hurdles for enhancing sustainable lean operations in the generation of digital era and green revolution. As companies are struggling to edge the appearing opportunities for preserving sustainability considering green regulations in global marketplace. To achieve the objective of sustainability, Systemized literature reviews conducted along with professionals’ opinion. An analysis distinguished significant nine sustainable parameters of green revolution (SPCE) and 15 lean sustainable hurdles (ELH) within desirability bonds for lean environmental-friendly operations. An integrated technique represents AHP–ELECTRE is used to examine these hurdles for achieving sustainable lean operations in organization value chain. Numerous hurdles are related to digitization, such as, lack of practiced manpower that realize digital technology, Inadequate regulations & command, purposeless achievement framework and focus of short timing targets. This research work finds incompetent policies for combination of digitization alongside green estimates, integrated along with deficiency of capital for digitization drives, consist of 2 vital hurdles. An investigation of current study is built upon the viewpoint of 5 knowledgeable in field of manufacturing units. Consequently, outcome of current work may not universal due to opinions might disagree from company to company. The research work can help industry experts to call attention for putting efforts to digitalize or automatize operating processes regarding sustainable operations and resourcefulness circularity. Preservation of resources are especially significant in current situation of circularity. The outcomes of this work will assist organizations to build a constructive and combined actionable guidelines which will promote lean eco-friendly production in value chain using refined understanding of digitization and zero waste.
