Abstract:
A Successful Business climate is the prominent requirement of any manufacturing sector. The
competitive advantage over the manufacturing process is backboned by several theoretical
concepts. Sustainable manufacturing principles have been identified as the best option for
process optimization. The automobile manufacturing remains the major sector throughout
the world. The notable drop in the productivity has been observed in the automobile industry
due to the limited application of sustainable concepts. The Focus has been initiated to
identify the involvement of circular economical aspects in the automobile sector with the
clear screening of gaps of research interests. Several literatures highlighted the application
of lean manufacturing thoughts and presented their outcomes, where the concepts
concerning the 6R principles remained unnoticed. A conceptual framework had been build
based on the review-based study with the available literature on the application of several
sustainable manufacturing concepts to automobile industry. The constraints were identified
and an appropriate means to overcome those constraints have been discussed in detail. Thus,
the literature opens the way for the analysis on several tracks for process optimization in the
automobile industry.
