Abstract

The current paper is focused to investigate and select various significant parameters that effect implementation of green manufacturing in Indian small and medium scale manufacturing organisations. In this study, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique is employed to validate the interrelation between various Green Manufacturing (GM) input parameters and their effect on GM implementation. In this study, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) approach is used to generate the impressive SEM_GM model using AMOS 20 (Analysis of Moment Structures) software. The data have been collected from different small and medium-scale manufacturing organisations implementing GM with the help of well-framed GM questionnaire for the generation of SEM_GM model. Structural Equation Modelling of various parameters effecting green manufacturing implementation like Peer Government Pressure (PGP), Peer Social Pressure (PSP), Customer's Attributes (CA), Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) and Adoption of new/supportive technology (ANT) for enhancing business performance has been performed. The constructed model named SEM_GM adjusted according to the modification indices obtained from the software and model fitness values are compared before and after modification. The research concludes at PGP, CA, GSCM and ANT effecting GMI in Indian small and medium scale manufacturing organisations whereas PSP not positively impacting implementation.
