Strategic Proposal for Sustainable and Circular Manufacturing: Planning and Implementation Actions (PLA.I.A.)

The study presents a decision-making model for sustainable and circular manufacturing using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and regression analysis. Key sustainability criteria, such as Circular Product Design, Eco-Friendly Materials, and Digital Integration, were prioritized through AHP. The model identifies Digital Integration and Closed-Loop Supply Chain practices as strong sustainability predictors. IoT-based real-time monitoring ensures adaptive decision-making in waste management, environmental conditions, and production. The model integrates blockchain for transparency and traceability, aligning with EU sustainability targets and offering actionable insights for manufacturers.
