Sustainable Supply Chain Practices in Engineering-Based Manufacturing Firms

Muhidinov Ayubbek Nuritdinovich, Priya Vij

Abstract


Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) assesses the environmental implications associated with all conventional supply chain (SC)activities to mitigate their adverse effects. This study presents a fuzzy-based methodology for examining obstacles in SSCM within the environment. Seven manufacturing companies from the electronics industry are participating. The study's findings reveal three primary challenges in engineering-based manufacturing firms. The barriers include knowledge-related factors (insufficient understanding of the adverse effects on business, absence of training programs for industry-specific training, monitoring, and mentoring, lack of technical expertise, and challenges in recognizing environmental possibilities), commitment-related issues (deficiency in corporate social accountability), and design-related challenges (complexities in designing for the reusing/recycling of used goods).The suggested research is among the first investigations undertaken within the environment regarding identifying SSCM barriers in the electrical and electronics industry. Secondly, the obstacles are examined via causation and prominent relationships, which assist decision-makers, policy developers, and organizational managers tackle the essential factors necessary to achieve SSCM activities.
