Environmental practices for manufacturing performance: FANP approaches

Environmental practices in manufacturing performance receive increasing scrutiny from researchers and practitioners because of the great uncertainty involved in the study. This research integrates the effort of management, engineering and social science and investigates the integrated environmental practice framework in order to reach a level of certainty in manufacturing performance. The proposed research method preliminary identifies and structures the strategic and operational elements into a framework that helps management in evaluating alternatives under uncertainty. The result indicates that delivery is the most important alternative in lower uncertainty whereas lower cost in higher uncertainty.
