Abstract

In order to overcome the situation of misuse of earth and society, a large pressure is building around all the factors
of the humankind to successfully adopt and implement sustainable manufacturing at various stages of the supply
chains. In the present study six factors of human resources are identified and categorized in the Indian automobile
industry context. The Grey relational analysis (GRA) technique is utilized to evaluate the success factors. The Grey
relational analysis (GRA) is a qualitative and quantitative approach that is used widely as a multi-criterion decision
making (MCDM) method to solve the complicated relationship problems having uncertainties. The factor
‘Commitment and transparency of stakeholders towards standardization of products’ achieves the first position
whereas factor ‘Trust among the members of the supply chain’ stays behind at last position. This work is helpful for
managers and practitioners to create a coordinated and focused system within the supply chain.
