Abstract: This manuscript is focused on identifying the various parameters of green manufacturing and finding a suitable ranking in terms of their most effectiveness towards accruing business excellence. After literature survey eight parameters, that is, support from top management, practices adopted by organisations, government pressure, social pressure, customers, green supply chain management, support from government, new technology adoption; have been identified to examine priority weights by the use of analytical hierarchy process (AHP). These priority weights are used for technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) rankings and further testing the sensitivity of the results. Customers, GSCM, new technology adoption have been ranked at first three places respectively, while government pressure, social pressure has been ranked fourth and fifth. Important factors discussed in this research can assist the different organisations to concentrate on imperative sections and assigning obligatory resources for assuring successful green manufacturing execution in various small and medium scale enterprises.
