Abstract

The paper proposes a system for identifying and rating small and medium scale firms that serve the automotive sector based on the sustainable supply chain. An increasing number of manufacturers are seeing significant and financial benefits from sustainable business practices. Sustainable production benefits, employees, the community and the product. The Indian subcontinent has a low level of understanding of these benefits, particularly among the small and medium sized firms (MSMEs). The literature was used to identify the barriers to a sustainable supply chain. understanding the factors that drive the sustainable manufacturing activities such as inhibitors and benefits is crucial. All the barriers have varied degrees of impact on the supply chain’s long-term viability. As a result, these barriers must be rated. One of the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making techniques (MCDM) that can be used to weigh and rank these obstacles is the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). On the basis of the ranking, important barriers are selected from the present list. Small and medium sized enterprises in the automotive industry have been choosen for this study and questionnaire on sustainable supply chain barriers sent asking them to score their level of agreement with the drivers, barriers and benefits of sustainable manufacturing activities. This research identifies three major aspects of sustainable supply constraints: Economic, Social, and Environmental. These three main elements of SSCM are referred to as the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Concepts of Sustainable supply chains. These are analysed and ranked in this paper.
