Implementing Sustainable Practices in Manufacturing: Strategies for Integration, Efficiency, and Resilience

Abstract

The research agenda is aimed at investigating a connection between the sustainability practices implementation and the manufacturing performance indicators (with the perspective of sustainable developments effective integration strategy and challenges assessment for implementation and contribution of sustainability to production efficiency and stability evaluation). Nowadays, the push for sustainable production is dramatically high; this is a reason which makes industries to research on friendly environment methods to enable the production process take place very easily. While green manufacturing undoubtedly leads to enhanced performance concerning the microenvironment, it is also important to take into account other components of the manufacturing performance indicators. This study utilizes an integrated method which includes qualitative interviews, case studies, reviewed literature, and quantitative surveys and will evaluate the rate of sustainability practices adoption and its implications on manufacturing performance. The research shows the correlation tendency (Pearson coefficient = 0.756) between the adoption of sustainable practices and manufacturing performance that registers higher efficiency, resilience, and decision-making processes, it does not prove the fact whether they are indeed due to the performance. The investigation' gives the notion of considering that need to put emphasis on sustainability in the processes of manufacturing it and the areas for policymakers and practitioners to control. Overcoming the realization point is one of the most important challenges machine manufacturing faces on the way to sustainability, which is a necessary condition of a sound and safe environment.
