particular, industrial companies face several challenges in adopting and enforcing renewable manufacturing
practices through SMEs. Green technology is the regeneration of production processes and the creation
within the industrial sector of environmentally friendly operations. Environmental development
includes three methods of changing manufacturing activities: utilizing green energy, producing and marketing
renewable goods and, using green technologies in business operations. A series of research has
been conducted in this direction of green manufacturing and several factors that affect the manufacturing
process are suggested by researchers, but how and in which sequence and order these factors are
required to be implemented by manufacturing organisations is missing in available studies. This research
is therefore unique in this direction to identify the factors that influence green manufacturing and suggest
the order of sequence to be followed by manufacturing organisation to establish themselves as green
manufacturing organisation and in-return they will be capable of producing green and eco-friendly products.
Using the expert opinion, eleven factors were extracted and the DEMATEL approach is used to classify
and categorize eleven drivers into cause effect group.
