Abstract :
Sustainability index (SI) is always emphasizing on the life of people to satisfy their basic needs and enjoy a better quality of living without compromising future generations. Sustainability or sustainable development is based on and used to balance between the three pillars/dimensions: economy, society and environment. The SD means making decisions that recognize the longer term impacts of actions on economy, society, and environment. In this paper, one case study will be analyzed and evaluated regarding sustainability through the three dimensions/pillars of sustainable development based on presented approach published by [1]. This approach is validated by using a real life case study. The results show how the framework is helpful for manufacturing firms to evaluate the sustainability index.
