Abstract

Because of increasing global concerns about optimal resource utilization and reducing environmental impacts, manufacturing is expected to be sustainable and environmentally friendlier. Also, the sustainability challenges have a significant impact on the manufacturing sector. Now the manufacturing firms are in transition toward smart manufacturing through Industry 4.0 technologies to meet mass customization expectations and sustainability. Modern technologies and frequent changes in customer demands have forced production industries to implement integrated manufacturing systems to embrace smart and sustainable production processes. To fulfill this, there exists a need to investigate factors that may influence the adoption of smart and sustainable manufacturing systems. Hence the objective of the chapter is to identify the factors influencing the adoption of smart and sustainable manufacturing systems and to rank the most influencing factors using a multicriteria decision-making method known as fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution. This analysis assists industry practitioners in selecting the most influencing factors in order to succeed with the adoption of smart and sustainable manufacturing systems and be competitive globally.
