This paper an AHP model sustainability through different practices. In initial stage this study survey...

Manual harvesting is a physically demanding occupation with several work-related issues in which musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) happen most commonly. The risk factors for MSDs among manual farmers are not investigated properly low and low-middle-income nations. Therefore, study 140 of Rajasthan, India was carried out through the usage Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) technique to identify ergonomic risks. χ2 analysis used find relationship between...

Purpose In the current global manufacturing scenario, all most major players are now in a position to commit themselves sustainability their operational initiatives and each of them follow own methodology attain goal sustainability. The purpose this paper is assess sustainable practice (SMP) Indian sector. This also focused on how lean leads (SM). Design/methodology/approach A survey used for research. SMPs identified literature review questionnaire was framed. all, 345 usable responses from...

The manufacturing environment is now so competitive that the companies must not only continuously improve their performance, but also do it faster than others. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) significantly contribute to industrial output of an economy, be for national economy in this era international business. With almost all productivity improvement (PI) tools requiring a working knowledge statistics, Indian SME manager with his semi-literate workforce little or no technical...

The current study is aimed at recognizing the risk factors for major work-related issues (ie, musculoskeletal disorders [MSDs]) among 138 manual-working farmers. Data were collected using modified Standardized Nordic Questionnaire and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment score sheet. Different influencing MSDs detected logistic regression methods. highest occurrence rate was observed in lower back (71.4%), followed by fingers (62.1%), shoulders (56.4%), hands/wrists (55%). Factors such as age,...

The findings in the paper are reported on basis of outcome sponsored research project Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Effective Performance Measurement System (PMS) for organisation is a key factor success today's competitive globalised market. In era globalisation outsourcing, SMEs understand acknowledge importance performance measurement system day-to-day business operations but may not able to pay serious attention it. This presents results survey Indian whilst addressing this issue....
