Abstract

During the times of pandemic, every sector tried to get through the rough journey especially the manufacturing industries which not only had to get along with the change in demands but also suffered a great loss of their human resources which makes us clearly understand the importance of achieving the goal of social sustainability. Exercising on enablers can be the new ray of hope where we can start fresh to stabilize and mend the loose ends in the industrial sector. The author of the study aims to investigate the detailed characteristics of the social pillar in sustainable manufacturing, highlighting the enablers which can act as either critical or driving in nature for enterprises, especially after the period of post-pandemic recovery. The main discussion is about an underrated pillar of social sustainability with an approach named as fuzzy DEMATEL method which we are using in the following present research for the valuation and evaluation of the major enablers for industries. In the following study, we aim to find the most effective enabling factors for the social aspect of sustainable manufacturing.
