Mapping Strategy to Best Practices for Sustainable Food Manufacturing Using Fuzzy DEMATEL-ANP-TOPSIS

Abstract This paper maps the specific content strategy for large food manufacturing firms that supports sustainable manufacturing to widely-known practices in the current literature. Mapping this content to established practices provides a useful approach for engineering managers as these practices have already established implementation insights and guidelines as well as measurement and evaluation mechanisms. In this work, an integrated hierarchical decision-making network model was developed to model the interdependencies of decision options, generate weights of these options, and map the same to established sustainable manufacturing practices. A Philippine case is presented, and findings show that total quality management emerges as the most appropriate practice for sustainable food manufacturing.
