On Manufacturers’ Strategies for Green Production an Example of the Copper Clad Laminate Industry

Abstract:

Green production plans on production processes based on the principle of benefiting ecological and environmental protection, and manufacturers green products to satisfy green consumption. The contents of green production, which in essence is a constantly perfecting process, will keep updating and advancing with technological progress and economic development. Importance-Performance Analysis, IPA, is a methodology frequently used to evaluate performances and enhance competitive strategies. By IPA, this research project evaluated the performance of the firm under study in green production, which was intended as the basis for improvement by the same firm.
