Strategic success of industry depends upon manufacturing competencies (i.e., the competitive advantage to ensure better quality and reliability), which will increase sales and create a sound customer base. Competitive priorities are the operating advantages that are assessed, evaluated, and measured within the parameters of cost, quality, time, design, and flexibility. The book explains the manufacturing competencies upon which the strategic success of the automobile industry depends. The impact of manufacturing competency on strategic success is analyzed and modelled using suitable qualitative and quantitative techniques.

Buying decision making is a complicated process, in which a consumer’s decision is under the influence of others. The buyer’s decision making is directed in such a way that they must act as a consumer in society. Media and family are key socializing agents for adolescents. Moreover, changes in the socio-cultural environment in India necessitate that adolescents’ influence in family’s buying decision making should be investigated. In comparison to Western society, Indian society is quite different when compared in terms of family composition and structure, behavior, values and norms which impact adolescents’ buying decision making.

Adolescents, Family and Consumer Behaviour studies the role of consumer socialization agents for adolescents, examining socio-economic factors that influence adolescents’ buying decision making in Indian urban families. It aims to discover the influence tactics that adolescents employ and to qualitatively analyse how marketers in turn influence adolescents. It addresses the topics with regard to strategic management and marketing and will be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and students in the fields of management, entrepreneurship, small business management, and human resource management.

Various Multiple Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques in one book: 13 MCDM techniques have been applied, namely, WSM, WPM, WASPAS, GRA, SMART, CRITIC, ENTROPY, EDAS, MOORA, AHP, TOPSIS, VIKOR, and new tools: MDEMATEL, Fuzzy MDEMATEL, Modified Fuzzy TOPSIS and Modified Fuzzy VIKOR. To date, no other book possesses this many tools.

Various quantitative techniques: Different quantitative techniques have been applied, namely, Cronbach alpha, Chi-square and ANOVA (for demographic analysis), Percent Point Score and Central Tendency (response analysis), Factor Analysis, Correlation and Regression. To date, no other book possesses this many tools.

Interpretive Structural Modelling: ISM has been applied for verifying MCDM results through MICMAC analysis and ISM model thus paving the way for model through SEM. Structural Equation Modelling: SEM using AMOS in PASW has been applied for model development.

New MCDM techniques developed: In the process during qualitative analysis, new tools have been developed and their results have been compared with other existing MCDM tools and the results are encouraging. The new techniques are MDEMATEL, Fuzzy MDEMATEL, Modified Fuzzy TOPSIS and Modified Fuzzy VIKOR.

Qualitative Model Developed: As the title says, Sustainable Green Development and Manufacturing Performance through Modern Production Techniques. It is a need-of-the-hour topic, as industries must maintain their performance (sustainable development) and, while sustaining, they have to keep in mind green issues (that is, environment-related issues, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic) and adopt advanced manufacturing and maintenance techniques. A model for this has been developed which will be helpful to both academicians and industrialists.

Real-time Case Studies: Case studies in two industries of differing origins, different manufacturing sectors, different products, and comparing their units in the country of their origin and India.

Condition-Based Maintenance and Residual Life Prediction is essential for those looking to effectively implement condition-based maintenance strategies and enhance fault detection through a comprehensive understanding of vibration data analysis and residual life prediction, addressing key challenges in the field.

Issues related to condition-based maintenance include its high initial cost, new techniques that can be difficult to implement due to resistance, older equipment that can be difficult to retrofit with sensors and monitoring equipment, and difficult-to-access equipment during production that is difficult to spot-measure. Keeping the above issues in mind, a general handbook for condition-based maintenance and residual life prediction is required to carry out in fault detection.

Condition-Based Maintenance and Residual Life Prediction aims to develop, analyze, and model condition-based maintenance and residual life prediction through vibration data. The analysis of vibration responses will aid in developing a fault detection system. The sources of vibration may be due to the presence of different types of defects, such as cracks in the shaft, a bent shaft, or misalignment of shafts. This will give designers a diagnostic tool for predicting the trends of vibration conditions, leading to early fault detection. The devised tool will be capable of quantifying the amplitude of vibration based on the severity of defects. With the features available in the devised diagnostic tool, the proposed model can be used for design, predictive maintenance, and condition-based maintenance.

The book provides valuable insights into how modern production strategies can enhance quality, efficiency, and environmental sustainability, ultimately driving profit and competitive advantage in today’s high-tech industry.

Today, production strategies are influenced by quality, cost, delivery, innovation, and responsiveness. Firms have traditionally pursued these goals through the adoption of production practices, such as simultaneous engineering, increasing efficiency through the elimination of defects, setup reduction, and worker empowerment. However, recent developments in industry suggest that industry regulators and professional bodies must encourage innovation in a broad range of high-tech production facilities with the environment in mind. The success of the industry depends on production facilities and the competitive advantage that the industry gains due to better quality and reliability. This advantage leads to an increase in sales and the creation of a sound customer base for greater market share, which eventually leads to more profit, growth, and expansion. A firm’s processes must possess operating advantages in the form of competitive priorities to outperform its competitors, keeping in mind its influence on the environment. Digitization and Manufacturing Performance: An Environmental Perspective presents the expectations of industrialists, policymakers, and academics by evaluating the impact of production facilities.

The existing manufacturing environment lacks the integration of intelligent technologies and sustainable industrial development (SID) needed to boost production and create a cleaner, superior environment. Developments in Sustainable Manufacturing Management: Key Concepts and Tools introduces some mechanisms required to evaluate the environmental impact of intelligent techniques in contemporary organisations. The book also advocates for the use of alternative renewable energy sources, the establishment of zero-emission and zero-waste manufacturing facilities, and the promotion of green standards and awareness.

The book examines Sustainable Industrial Development (SID) and Inclusive Sustainable Industrial Development (ISID) initiatives, and how these can contribute to the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. There is an increasing importance of sustainability in meeting regulatory and consumer demands, especially in the automotive industry. Developments in Sustainable Manufacturing Management serves as a guide for manufacturers, researchers, and policymakers aiming to maintain competitiveness in the global market through ISID, whilst considering technological and economic aspects.
