| Abstract |
In recent decades, there has been substantial environmental pressure on manufacturing companies for predict the economic benefits of their processes and products and assessing the environmental and social effects of their performance. As a result, promotion of production processes and products by preserving the social, economic, and environmental benefits has become one of the objectives of most companies. This demand has also directly pursued by customers who wish their products to be built in a sustainable manner. Therefore, this has caused manufacturing companies around the world face a new challenge of maintaining their competitive position in the market by developing and implementing sustainable production practices and tools and pursue sustainable development aiming at social, economic, and environmental issues in the process of development. The concept of sustainable production, closely associated with sustainable development, was firstly proposed in the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992. In this conference, it was concluded that the main cause of environmental destruction is the unsustainable pattern of production and consumption, especially in industrial countries. Whereas sustainable consumption is targeted at consumers, sustainable production deals with companies and organizations producing goods or providing services. Focusing on business sustainability, the present paper aimed to identify dimensions of sustainable production with an ecological approach from the perspective of managers of successful industrial companies in Semnan Province, Iran and then propose a model of sustainable production. To this end, 33 successful managers in this province with at least 5 years of continuous activity were interviewed using the repertory grid technique and 33 personal repertory grids were developed. In addition, a total of 175 initial personal constructs of sustainable production were identified. Finally, through the analysis of these constructs, the collective grid of sustainable production consisting of 87 secondary constructs in 11 sections was plotted. These constructs were analyzed and classified using cluster analysis in SPSS and finally a model of sustainable production with 11 pillars and 87 constructs in 4 sections was developed. |
