5. Conclusions
- Anticipating and overcoming resistance in relation to selected SM postulates of the concept;
- Implementing visionary leadership;
- Questioning “constancy”;
- Implementing an intensive and extensive communication process;
- Choosing the right moment and waiting for implementation;
- Implementing of individual SM postulates;
- Legitimizing the implemented SM postulates.
- The concept of sustainable manufacturing has not been and is still not clearly defined; over the years, the concept has evolved from a complete lack of recognition of the need for its implementation to the emergence of interest in its various dimensions;
- In the literature on the subject, there are many definitions of sustainable manufacturing (although the extensive interpretative analysis of the proposals of various researchers carried out for research purposes is not presented in this study (publishing rigor)).
