Book cover Advances in Industrial and Production Engineering

Abstract

In the digital era, advanced technologies and strategies are required to cope with the changing demands of consumers. “Sustainable circular manufacturing” is the new ray of hope meeting all standards of sustainable manufacturing and circular economy. It focuses on environment friendly production with the philosophy of reuse, remanufacture, and recycle and also endorses a close loop manufacturing pattern. This pattern not only aims to improve the product life cycle but also decrease resource consumption. Authors in this research paper authors identified nine key factors which enable the sustainable circular manufacturing by literature review and expert opinion. To determine a structural link amongst these enablers “Total Interpretive Structural Modelling (TISM)” methodology is used. Authors also derive the most dependent and independent enablers with the help of MICMAC analysis chart.
