Determining the objective weight of green manufacturing indicators: a case study of the Indonesian manufacturing company

Abstract

With the growing of environmental issues, manufacturing companies are compelled to improve their performance to reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution. Accordingly, company's performance should be measured according to the green manufacturing indicators. The importance of the indicators must be determined properly aligned with the company's goals and profiles. This study aims to determine the weight of green manufacturing indicators which becomes the critical input for green performance evaluation. Different weighting methods including entropy and CRiteria Importance Through Inter-criteria Correlation (CRITIC), are integrated using Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEA) to determine the final weight. A case study of the Indonesian manufacturing company is presented to illustrate the application of the proposed method. The result indicates that process technology, compliance of environmental quality standards, and operational standards are considered critical in green manufacturing.
