Purpose

The purpose of this study is to identify a comprehensive list of main enablers of successful implementation of green manufacturing (GM) practices in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Based on the inputs from Irish SMEs' experts, a validated conceptual hierarchy model of the identified enablers is developed to analyse and prioritise the most dominant ones.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected using a questionnaire survey responded by various professionals in Irish manufacturing SMEs. Experts' opinions were analysed using interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) to distinguish the mutual influences amongst the nine identified enablers.

Findings

The findings revealed that from the Irish SMEs' perspective, strong green supply chain relations are the outcome of successfully implementing GM and not a driver of the other enablers. Furthermore, lower manufacturing costs are found to arise as a result of GM practices in SMEs.

Practical implications

It is discussed that emulating the actions of larger companies will not necessarily yield the same results for SMEs. Innovation will become a cornerstone of remaining competitive in a sustainable environment, which is facilitated by closer green supply chain relations.

Originality/value

The reported findings in this article contribute to theory and practice of GM and SMEs research domains by systematically identified, classified and ranked enablers in a conceptual hierarchal model from the perspective of Irish SMEs. This research lays the foundations for further analysis of the GM practices enablers in a time when UN mandates and EU regulations are increasingly impacting SMEs all around Europe and especially Ireland.

对爱尔兰中小企业成功实施绿色制造业的推动因素进行分析

目的

本研究的目的是确定在中小企业(SMEs)中成功实施绿色制造(GM)做法的主要推动者的完整列表。根据爱尔兰中小型企业专家的意见,开发了一个已确认的促成因素的经过验证的概念层次模型,以分析和确定最主要的促成因素。

设计/方法/方法

数据是通过问卷调查收集的,问卷调查由爱尔兰制造业中小企业的各种专业人士提供。使用解释性结构模型(ISM)和应用于分类的交叉影响矩阵乘法(MICMAC)来分析专家的意见,以区分9个已确定促成因素之间的相互影响。

发现

调查结果表明,从爱尔兰中小企业的角度来看,牢固的绿色供应链关系是成功实施通用汽车的结果,而不是其他推动因素的驱动力。此外,发现由于中小型企业的转基因做法而降低了制造成本。

实际影响

据讨论,模仿大公司的行动不一定会为中小企业带来相同的结果。通过紧密的绿色供应链关系,创新将成为在可持续发展的环境中保持竞争力的基石。

创意/价值

本文所报告的发现通过从爱尔兰中小企业的角度,在概念层次模型中系统地识别,分类和排名促成因素,为基因改造和中小企业研究领域的理论和实践做出了贡献。在联合国授权和欧盟法规对欧洲尤其是爱尔兰的中小企业产生越来越大的影响之际,这项研究为进一步分析转基因实践的推动力奠定了基础。
