Enhancing energy resilience in enterprises: a multi-criteria approach

Sustainable Energy Research, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12(1)

Published: Jan. 31, 2025

Unreliable energy supply disrupts productivity and escalates costs in manufacturing enterprises, highlighting the need for robust resilience strategies. Existing multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods, such as analytic hierarchy process (AHP), best–worst method (BWM), unaugmented TOPSIS, often lack advanced risk prioritization objective criteria weighting, limiting their effectiveness addressing complex, multidimensional challenges. This study proposes an integrated framework that combines Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) prioritization, CRITIC-method weighting based on 4A's dimensions—availability, accessibility, affordability, acceptability—and fuzzy-TOPSIS strategy ranking. The bridges theoretical rigor with operational applicability, unique challenges faced by enterprises. Validated through a real-world case sensitivity analysis, it identifies actionable strategies, flexible scheduling, demonstrating consistent rankings across comparative analyses fuzzy VIKOR, WASPAS, MARCOS. sector-specific approach advances both academic understanding industrial practice providing scalable, tool enhancing resilience. presents integrating FMEA, CRITIC-method, within to address It prioritizes risk, provides ranks strategies under uncertainty. study, effective demonstrates adaptability, confirming robustness via analyses.

Evaluating Sustainable Development Goals Achieved Through Industry 5.0‐Enabled Circular Practices

Environmental Quality Management, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 34(3)

Published: March 1, 2025

ABSTRACT The transition to Industry 5.0, which integrates human‐centric approaches with advanced technologies, has the potential drive circular supply chain practices, addressing critical environmental challenges such as waste reduction, resource optimization, and carbon footprint minimization. Despite its promise, impact of 5.0‐enabled practices on achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) remains underexplored in existing literature, particularly context developing countries. This research bridges this gap by examining how these can contribute specific SDGs. employs a hybrid framework that combines Spherical Fuzzy Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SF‐SWARA) Multi‐Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison (SF‐MABAC). SF‐SWARA evaluates importance SF‐MABAC ranks SDGs influenced their implementation. Applying Indian textile industry, study identifies cradle‐to‐cradle design optimization priority practice demonstrates significant reductions generation (SDG 12.5) improvements urban sustainability through enhanced air quality management 11.6). findings highlight actionable pathways for integrating into chains, offering insights policymakers industry stakeholders aiming advance goals.

Advancing Business Strategy in End‐Of‐Life Management for the Fashion Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: May 2, 2025

ABSTRACT Fast fashion is disrupting circularity in the industry, necessitating strategic business models fostering sustainable production. However, there a gap literature regarding criteria for assessing end‐of‐life (EoL) management of textile products. The present study aimed to identify most effective EoL strategies support companies closing loop, comparing reuse, mechanical recycling, and chemical recycling against landfill disposal. Using multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA), research engaged with diverse stakeholder categories (i.e., academics, industry professionals, consultants, politicians) evaluate several aspects sustainability. results highlight dominant role played by policy considerations over economic environmental factors relatively lower weight given technological social aspects. Reuse emerged as beneficial strategy, followed recycling. Additionally, underscore urgency avoiding findings offer framework promoting management, alignment Sustainable Development Goal 12.

Deployment of Industry 4.0 technologies to achieve a circular economy in agri-food supply chains: A thorough analysis of enablers

Journal of Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 373, P. 123856 - 123856

Published: Dec. 30, 2024

With the global population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, pressure on natural resources will increase 50-90%, exceeding planetary boundaries. Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies are widely considered feasible for resolving conflict between growth and resources. However, their adoption agri-food industry has been slower than in manufacturing automotives. Their fragmented, non-comprehensive, atheoretical nature of scholarly research relating I4.0 circular economy (CE) impede practitioners' deeper understanding. Grounded grand theory, we analyze enablers deployment achieve CE supply chains (AFSCs). We thematically data collected from 32 Chinese AFSC practitioners through semi-structured interviews identify 27 enablers. then implement a group-based fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (GFAHP) prioritize these based opinions 10 decision makers. Our results differ most existing studies. First, find that AFSCs' successful I4.0-enabled depends collective efforts environmental factors, chains, organizations, individuals. China's hierarchical cultural value orientation is "lubricant" linking factors synergies. Second, our prioritization show success heavily relatively little Enablers such as willingness learn new knowledge, knowledge CE, rural revitalization policy, infrastructure construction enhanced digital skills prioritized amongst identified This study limitations, generalizability, should be addressed future research.
