Abstract

Conventionally, the manufacturing performance evaluation has commonly focused on dimensions of quality, cost, delivery and flexibility. In response to the increasing concerns for sustainability issue, it is necessary to incorporate the sustainability aspects into the manufacturing performance dimensions, called the sustainable manufacturing performance criteria. However, while the literature on sustainability is rapidly growing, very few researches have been conducted on how to integrate sustainability into the manufacturing performance evaluation. Based on the review of previous studies, this paper proposes a set of sustainable manufacturing performance measures for automotive companies, which is hopefully suitable to their characteristics and helps them to become more sustainable. The proposed measures consist of three elements of the environment performance, four elements of the economic performance, and two elements of the social performance. A survey will be conducted to confirm the adaptability of the proposed measured with the industry practices. Future research will focus on developing an evaluation tool to assess sustainable manufacturing performance in automotive companies.
