Implementing a green manufacturing system based on a novel assessment model

This work describes a novel assessment model that evaluates key successful factors for implementing a green manufacturing system. The proposed model has three dimensions, i.e. green design, green manufacturing process, and green packaging. Ten strategic subjects and 68 assessment factors are established and revised based on expert opinions collected via a questionnaire. Based on the analytical network process (ANP), the weights of factors in each layer are then calculated and assessment models are constructed with applicable and valuable references.
