The manufacturing sector has greater responsibility for conducting and operating its business. The primary objective of every unit is to maximize profits. The manufacturing sector is the key driver of energy consumption and if an automobile consumes high fuel or if the resources are under-utilized, it is definitely the fault of the manufacturer. If we seriously need a solution to these problems, we need to change the way we design, manufacture, and sell the products. The manufacturing sector must use energy and resources efficiently. ‘Green Manufacturing' or sustainable industrial activity is the need of the hour and the Government of India requires the manufacturing sector to play a bigger role in the country's economy. This paper focuses on the initiative taken by the industries to make the environment eco-friendly. The paper further will emphasize upon a case study of Hero MotoCop.

as the manufacturing industry gains momentum around the world, the conflicts between its rapid development and the accompanying consumption of materials, discharge of wastes and ecological impacts spiral. Governments around the world have explored measures and made achievements in alleviating the dual pressures from economic growth and environmental degradation. As for the overall trend of the manufacturing industry, creating and developing “green manufacturing” brands is the only way for the manufacturing industry to achieve further development. It is of great significance to design guidelines for green manufacturing from the angle of branding, the green notion provides more profundity and the soul to brands, ensuring sustainable development of brands. The development of green brands in Xiamen has adopted a global vision and related to the local realities, which would provide lessons for high-quality development of green manufacturing brands in other places.

The Chinese government attempts to use market-oriented measures, such as energy performance contracts (EPCs) rather than mere policy mandates, to encourage manufacturers to voluntarily adopt green technologies. However, the low use rate of EPCs in existing diffusion projects calls for an in-depth examination. This article, therefore, aims to investigate the adoption risks that thwart key stakeholders, as well as the stakeholders' trust that may mitigate the aforementioned risks, through a case study of the national-level diffusion project. Using network analysis, this study identifies four critical risks that are associated to key stakeholders, that is, information asymmetry, funding support, payback period savings potential, and technical competences. Furthermore, it discloses the linkages between stakeholders' trust perceptions and the aforementioned risks. This outcome gives us new insights about what can be improved to better promote EPCs in diffusion projects on a national scale.

Abstract Background: Many studies found in literature only focus on specific aspects of the evaluation of the success of projects, such as the criteria for evaluation; and just a few are focused on the activities for evaluating success. Objectives: The goal of the paper is to present the process for evaluating the success of Business Intelligence (BI) projects in a large company. Methods/Approach: An exploratory case study was carried out at Tintas Robbialac, SA, a Portuguese company of the paint industry. Results: The specific company approach for evaluating the success of BI projects is presented and discussed. Conclusions: The process for evaluating the success of BI, as well as the evaluation criteria, should be formally defined; and the success should be evaluated and monitored along all the project lifecycle.

To be economical, enterprises confronting present intense and phenomenal worldwide business situations must plan and provide the best products and services and move forward their manufacturing maneuvers by typically utilizing Lean manufacturing practice. It is involved with converting materials into valued products by utilizing raw material to enhance productively and to maximize the benefit of an organization and minimize the waste. Green manufacturing is a strategy that reduces waste and contamination by the nonstop approach. This study points to examine the lean and green manufacturing concept and its integration in operation management. Operations management is a collective endeavor to adjust costs incurred with income to realize the most elevated networking benefit conceivable [1]. In this way, procedures of lean logic can play an incredible role. The present paper is a case study approach in the qualitative analysis of selected SMEs.
